After 25 years of illness and misdiagnosis, I began IV Rocephin for Lyme disease today.

To celebrate, I've written the following LYMERIC, and hope borrelia is pronounced with a short e, cause otherwise it won't rhyme. =O

Broke it up for you Betty and other Lyme Brains

LYMERICK

There Once Was A Germ Named Borrelia

Who Wasn't A Very Nice Fellia

For Years He Did Hide

And Gave Me Quite A Ride

But Now I'm Gonna Give HIM some Hellia !!!!!

If anyone has any tips re IV Rocephin treatment, I'd be glad if you share, and I won't consider it medical advice at all. Just the voices of experience. Time to celebrate!!!!

melody, really cute!

please copyright it, etc. so it doesn;t remain a ANONYMOUS ...

also, someone started a post compiling lyme poems, etc. you might do a search for it and add it to the other cleverly worded ones! [Wink]

Thanks for the advice Betty.

I am careful about copyrighting music before it is heard, but never thought of doing that for the Lymerick.

I write contemporary Christian music, which is why I list as "Melodymaker" though my name is Rita. [Big Grin]

Hope all is well in your world.
