Free Verse:
Tummy Trouble
I felt fine at first
then I felt the grumble
there was a slight rumble
then a sharp pain in the lower left
next to my belly button
then a gurgle
a squeaky whistle from inside
can anyone hear that?
the gurgle came back
followed by a pain
almost in the middle
of my lower back
which would explain
being hunched over
or maybe that is to
hide the noise
if I look will I see movement?
but if I can just get there
without any problems
my life won’t be marred
by an explosion!

Been there! Ate some meat that wasn’t quite right. Within a few hours I was in such pain I thought I was going to die! The explosion came in time, a major upchuck, after which the system returned to normal. Hope I don’t ever go there again. 😦

This is horrible to retell but two years ago on Thanksgiving I was out to dinner with my kids. It was the year we lost my husband, their dad. Everything seemed fine, my daughter and I actually shared food. I had a margarita with lime. About 15 minutes after eating I had to use the restroom, began getting horrible pains, sweating, I really thought I was going to die. Suddenly, both ends lost everything in me! I was horrified at the mess I made. Ugh, it’s so bad. Hahaha, now I can chuckle.
