Dear thyroid,
Even though you are no longer here with me I really miss you. Some of the folks at Dear Thyroid have written poems, so I thought I’d write you a nice song. It’s in a 12 bar blues format, which seemed sort of appropriate:
I woke up this morning
Feeling like I died in my sleep
Yes I woke up this morning (sort of)
And I felt like I died, in my sleep
When I got up out of bed
it was all that I could do, just to, weep.
I saw the doctor a while ago
and he gave me a little pill
I saw the doctor, not that long ago
and he gave me a little pill
He said please wait, until I leave the room,
then you can take it if you will
He said stay away from people, and
don’t kiss your lover, for two days
Yes stay twelve feet from anyone
and kiss no one, for two days.
Well my family sent me to the woods
they, said come back when we’ll be safe.
I put my white dress on that night
sat by the river, ‘neath the trees
It was a ghostly long white dress
I was a wraith, wand’ring thru the trees
You know I felt something leave me
My poor butterfly was finally free
Now the fun and games, are done
and life seems like a lie.
yes the fun and games are done
and all the promises are lies
the doctor gave me another pill (it’s synthroid)
and said without it, you will die.
Okay I know that days and safe don’t really rhyme but it’s the blues so it’s okay to drop the dipthongs.
Changes, for those interested in these things, are:
Emin9////, Edim7////, Emin9//Edim//, Emin9////
Amin9////, Adim////, Emin9//Edim//, Emin9////
B7b5////, F37b5//// Emin9//Edim//, Emin9//B7b9
Melody is a generic blues melody
Now that I’ve written you a song, I hope while you watch me from endocrine heaven that you, will intercede on behalf of my immune system. Maybe send it a 12 step program to help with it’s behavior so it doesn’t hurt anything else.
Thanks
Zari

Awesome, Zari. You’ll be in my thoughts.
You got me singing along Zari..Hope you find that 12 step program to keep you from being in the blues.
Haunting AND it has the word dipthong in it. I’m with you.
Rebecca, you’re hilarious. He gets extra points for that word. Great expression of creativity, Zari! We’re such a creative bunch over here, huh? 🙂
A nitpicky thing on my typo for those who care…the F37b5 in bar 10 is really F#7b5
