One for the family album
I developed a rash,
It is blotchy and brash.
Sore to the touch and it tingles,
At the back of my loins
Quite near to my groin,
Online NHS think it's shingles.
Next a video call
With a doc who wants all,
Can you film it and show me, says she.
Round the back, I can't reach
Wife steps into the breach,
Drop 'em blossom, she chuckles with glee.
But, shingles it's not
And all that I've got
Is a type of infection from Hell.
As I slap on the cream
You may well hear me scream,
And the sound of wife giggling as well.
NHS National health Service, UK
I wondered what that noise was I heard today!

My husband and I are getting to witness the less flattering side of aging in each other. We laugh and it doesn’t feel quite as bad.

You are so right Diana. If you can laugh at what life throws your way as you get older, then everything seems so much better.
