Eyesight Failing ….. [temporary? Eye Problem; Personal; Short; Humor? ] Poem by Bri Edwards

Eyesight Failing ….. [temporary? Eye Problem; Personal; Short; Humor? ]

Rating: 5.0


Two months or more ago "she" said: "Your eyes aren't good".
I ignored "her" ….AND the bodies piling up …on our car's hood.
After all, I got no tickets, and we got where we were going.
I thought something ELSE caused her "hot air" ……to be blowing.

Then a few weeks ago ‘EYE' began to doubt my vision.
So I made an optometry appointment: "MY decision"! !
Today the optometrist said: "Your left retina's defective.
I suggest you see an ophthalmologist, but it's ‘elective' "

So I "elected" to make an eye doctor appointment.
Maybe he'll have some magic pill or famous ointment …..
to cure what ails my left eye. BUT I have ANOTHER EYE,
so ……..if one shuts down completely; I'll try NOT to cry.

But this serves to teach me an important ….'wife-RULE':
"Husbands! Act quickly on each of your wife's …………..‘suggestions'." ………..[Don't be a FOOL! ]

No big deal Bri... I have operated on one eye since birth and it is still serving me very well after 85 years The left one stays closed a lot.

A Wife is sensible most of the time, so better pay heed to her advice! ..................................................' BUT I have ANOTHER EYE, so ……..if one shuts down completely; I'll try NOT to cry.' A very nonchalant attitude! (So at times, there is some truth in what you say)

Don't let my wife hear you say that! Anyway, I'm glad you're back in the poetry business. If you wore an eye patch you'd look like Captain Kidd.
