S H O T S

There it is on my calendar and it says "SHOTS" ever so plainly.
The thought of this procedure occupies my mind now just mainly.
Thinking back on my long life these invasions of my body are numerous,
but, I guess, they worked and that I am still here is blessedly humorous.

Luckily my veins are plainly visible and thus very easy to be shot,
thus I am certainly happy that afraid of these shootings  I am not.
Nearing one-hundred, once again, I have to submit to this invasion,
and while I know it will not hurt, I do not enjoy this very occasion.

A fine needle will pump some fluid in my unresisting skinny arm-
the admirable intent being- "this will protect me against future harm ".
It is just the thought that your body will now be somehow invaded,
yet that you will gain benefits much later is ever so clearly stated.

There is no argument, thus far it mainly worked for my protection
and that these fluids do their work leads to mental delection.
So, let them shoot away and be thankful to have this done,
these doctors and nurses ar a blessing to me and of benefit to anyone !
