Time makes all things pass

      New Developments
 

Let’s see how things develop” said the doctor to my Mum.

I thought they meant the x-rays that they’d taken of my tum.
Would they see that great big sticky ball of yellow bubble gum
Or that lovely slice of cake I’d had and eaten every crumb?
But later on a pretty nurse did to my bedside come.
And said, “You’re going home today, so stop that looking glum.”
“That pain you had this morning was just an unripe plum,
But now the problem’s passed away, so you’re O.K.,old chum!”
I was so relieved at that, I was in fact struck dumb,
But as for eating plums again, I’d rather suck my thumb!

Purgative, cathartic...

I presume the unripe plum, 
came shooting out your bum?

Nice read Mike. 
 
Purgative indeed. Mind the Canary gets my vote for flavour of the month. You should do a few more scripts. I suspect it may be the making of you.  
 
Slan!

Many thanks for the reviews, lads. 
If I lower the tone any more I'll be tunnelling upwards meself!

I enjoyed reading this. Nothing like a scarey medical experience to make you change your life. Good fun.
