Long-time friends of this blog (both of them) are all too aware that
April is both Parkinson's Disease Awareness Month and Poetry Month. I
like to celebrate this cosmic coincidence by mashing up two things that
go together like Brussels sprouts and ice cream, namely, PD and Poetry.
How? Easy! By penning, or, more accurately, keyboarding, a Pd poem.
Still with me?
Good. Here goes...
"I've never seen a Parkie Cow..." No
that won't do... "A parkinsonian lad, name of Tucker, was one crazy,
tough little ... " no, better not go there... "Roses are red,
Parkinson's shakey, when I'm dyskinetic, my movement is snakey..." no,
no!..
OK, I think I got it...

This is perfect! Thank you!
Every disease needs a clever and brutally honest comedian. Our prez has Colbert, Baldwin, Kimmel, Noah and Bee, to name just a few; Parkinson's has you. Big thanks!
Perfectly succinct, to the point, and totally spot on, Peter. Please add me to your recipient list.
Feet curled in tight dystonic balls - that's me!
