MY FLING WITH ANN AND ANGI

[Jeff Thorpe]

I've recently had heart bypass surgery and am fresh home from hospital. Touch wood, the successful operation will continue in this vein (no pun intended) and I'll be fully "on deck" in a couple of months.

This poem was written while in hospital awaiting surgery and tells the story of my Angina and Angiogram experiences.

MY FLING WITH ANN AND ANGI

Ann Gina and Angi O’Gram, two girls I’ll not forget,
both hold a special history with my heart.
This begins my story, I’ll tell you from the start
and you’ll see why these two chicks, I wish I’d never met.

I’d never seen Ann Gina, though it seems she knew me well,
her sister Va the one I’d mainly known,
she a classy lady with whom some seeds were sown
but ultimately, it was Ann who held me in her spell.

Ann made her presence felt late one Saturday night
when I’d have been much more at home with Va,
no tender thoughts at all from Ann, her mood as black as tar
resulting with me getting a huge fright.

Hospital was where Ann continued the affair,
there Angi O’Gram was introduced.
Slam and bam was Angi, she had me seduced
before I realised I was even there.

Straight on to the groin was Angi’s tried technique,
this her pathway to a fellow’s heart,
crude, but most effective, no romance on her part,
never could her actions be considered as oblique.

Next, I met the Blockages, thugs who commandeer the roads,
in my case stopping arteries hauling blood.
They let pass a trickle of what should be a flood,
their standing on a par with a bag full of cane toads.

At least Angi warned me ‘bout the Blockages existence
and grudgingly, I must thank her for that
for while her approach resembled ball hit by bat
her knowledge of the road blocks was of great assistance.

A plan was then devised to skirt round these occlusions,
an IBB, or Inner Body Bypass if you will
but, that’s another experience I have yet to fulfill,
not being one to leap toward foregone conclusions.

So, if you ever meet up with the Gina girls
be sure to team with Va and not with Ann,
in truth, I feel she should be subject to a ban,
cast aside long before any strife unfurls.

And if Angi O’Gram does ever cross your path,
understand that really she means well.
Her modus operandi could be the way to tell
that sadness will not be an aftermath.

[Neville Briggs]

Hope you recover well Jeff. What if the doctor recommends that you don't get too over excited for a few months.

G'day Bill, Maureen and Neville

Thanks for your interest. Could have knocked me over with a feather when told I'd had a heart attack. Still, Bypass op was successful so in theory at least, I now have super clean highways leading into and out of my heart.

Regards, Jeff
