Every fiber of my being, I told the preacher
Hates this cruel sadistic creature
Laughing each time I stumble
Mimicking me when I mumble
I would cheer if it dies before me
my soul cries that it might be
Though I hate to use even one foul word
Parkinson's you're nothing but a bastar...
Michael J. it has outfoxed you
Muhammad Ali they have no clue
Why it strikes, yet I'm sure you'll agree
You'll never again sting like a bee
Before I scream, waking the dead
advised to God's throne instead
because if I sulk too often
It's won and that'll never happen!
Author notes
Like Ann Shirley said in Green Gables "I am having a Jonah day today" - feeling trapped in a whale of diesese but knowing God will get me out!!! (my husband is a preacher and he listens so patiently to me when I complain about my sickness, thank you my darling!)

I really enjoyed this read.
I thought the rhyming was awesome. I love rhymes...lol.
And the title is incredibly poignent... Ecclesiastes 3 is one of my favourite biblical chapters, Turn Turn Turn, one of my favourite songs. And so I really love how you based your title on both.
Thank you for entering.
Love and light,
