Haha! A sharp piece of wit. Remember, Jesus says to turn the other cheek.. -chuck
What more can I say in the face of such witty and wily poetic craft except well done-and hard luck!

Hahaha! Another delightful poem. You have a wonderful sense of humour. Irene
Absolutely my kind of write - witty, to the point, and a ring of truth for most of us.
This is terrific, really loved your flow of rhymes, with a great story!
A lighthearted piece of self deprecation delivered in a jolly rhythm and with a sharply pointed wit. This silly poem contains more than an ounce of truth, I'm sure. Great fun. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Another good one. So refreshing from the love mush found on this site. Adeline
A wonderful tale of needilitis lol, made me laugh, it is quite common to be afraid of needles, great write Laurie, 10 Lynda xx

OMG As humerous as this Poem is....... Myself being a Needle Phobic Knows it is not at all a laughing matter. But one of unbelievable fear. I actually have nightmares about it now and then. When I had My First child I had a Nurse Like Hattie Jaques from the Carry on Films literally hold me down so they could inser a Drip into my arm Bloody Nightmare. In my dreams though they dont get me LOL

This is so funny :) and i do sympathize as i am a needlephobic. Even as a child the nurses knew to sit me down before a shot as i would faint lol. Well done and your comedic talent shone thru. Who'd 'ave thunk it? lol
Oh this so made me laugh Laurie...wonderful write...thanks...10+++
The humorous Laurie is every bit as entertaining as the romantic Laurie. I would not mind having the whole collection, truly..(smile)
