The mistress of sub- and other conscious writing prompts Linda G Hill has taunted us again:

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “the last piece of mail you received.” Talk about the subject of the last piece of physical mail you received, i.e. a gas bill–talk about gas, not the bill itself. Have fun!

I think I have to cheat today. The reason for it is the last letter I received: An invitation for a breast examination because of an extraordinary cyst:

It was big. Huge. Ginormous

and I already wrote about it on Carol Anne’s “Therapy Bits“!

I wrote:

“10.38

I got the second prompt from Tweetspeakpoetry and it is:

The Prompt, Based on Barkat’s Poem

Barkat creates irresistible sounds by employing “expert vocabulary,”
or specific words from a field, such as gardening. Write a poem that catalogs a variety of words you may not commonly use—it could be language from ice hockey, chemistry, or raising guinea pigs. Doing a bit
of research first is okay. Play with the words and enjoy the sounds
of them bumping and crashing together.

That’s gonna be fun. I am soon off to the hospital to have my breast examined. I notoriously get cysts. Didn’t really want to go because it seems to be the same all the time. But this one is rather big so after I got told off by my friends I go and am going to write an “ode to my cysts” when waiting there.

Find the words I am using here at Breast Cancer Care (and if you are one of those who skipped any cancer screening test go and make an appointment because you never know…)

Ode to my cyst

You benign growth of mine

Many of you

Have I “treasured”

Jobless Lobules

Embedded in glandular tissue.

Fibrous.

Fibrous I am.

Daily.

But Mother Nature is kind.

Benign you are

Alas quite big

But benign you are!!!!

 

Just in case you are interested: yes it was a cyst and apparently the biggest they have ever emptied at 55ml. What a whopper. No wonder it hurt. Usually, I have about half that and they say then it’s big.

So my faith in the NHS is restored because I fully expected to have to come back for more procedures. The powers that be shall bless that doctor and the nurse!!!!

May you have a wonderful Saturday and if you want to celebrate with me the wonderful invention our breasts are (sorry gentlemen… 😁) then feel free to dance like no one’s watching 😘”

And that is really all I want to say (at 14.34) because writing is a bit difficult while laughing maniacally, dancing with a glass of wine in your hand and the dog hopping around you like a crazy little bunny  😉 .
