Confusion

Picture Credit: Google images

Can’t  make out what’s happening
Running helter skelter round and round
Like a chicken beheaded before its time
Why all these buzzing, swooping and swirling
A bee hive smoked out is not as bad

Resigned to what’s coming, fate is cruel
Head spinning wildly the world is moving
No! a merry-go-round has taken over my being
Spinning faster and faster….

Stop! Please! All are taking positions
Change of stance is apparent
Physically it’s all confusion
A physical is only an intrusion

You have a headache?
Did you throw up?
A horrible tummy ache did you say?

Doc, I feel so weak!
I’m all cob-webs!
My mind’s blank

This happened before?
Once before…it was normally two rounds
But I did three yesterday
That’s what happened also before 

Nothing’s wrong with you my man!
It’s just exhaustion
From now on just the normal two rounds
Not more than that...
At your age, golf is meant to be enjoyed!

  4. I love that this ended up a funny story! No heart attack/mini-stroke? just over-exertion?

  5. Sounds more like a maelstrom - never had those symptoms..but when you've never been sick, anything that goes wrong is confusing. Well articulated and happy it wasn't any more serious!

  6. Yeah the chicken I can relate
    Such a pain in the rump fate
    haha have to get that ball in the hole
    But don't run just stroll

  18. I have been fighting a migraine all week and you have almost perfectly described it. When I am looking at the computer screen my head at times is just spinning and I have felt like I am going to pass out.

    Anyway I think it will take me forever to visit everyone. So I will try to make the rounds. And I love how the ending takes us on a ride to end up with golf. I have never understood why anyone just wants to hit the ball, chase the ball. And yes, I know there is more to it but I still don't see what makes it a fun thing to do.

    Thanks for sharing this confusion poem with us for this weeks confusing Theme Thursday.

    God bless.
