Paradox –

A Limericked Shred on Seeing Red

We cannot trust a pair-o-docs –

A diagnosis, though it mocks –

When tests reveal

They cannot heal,

It’s time to pray for paradox.

Responsibilities unmet,

Though juggled, still remain a threat.

We twitter still

Against our will

And hope the answer changes yet.

Appointments canceled and deferred,

While we await affirming word,

The promise waits

At Heaven’s gates,

And victory has yet occurred.

In olden times, discoveries

Were heralded on bended knees.

From outset’s call,

Amid the squall,

The faithful would their cares release.

What wonders, worth much more than gold,

We often miss, as we withhold –

Why cling to fate?

Let’s celebrate

To see a miracle unfold.
