“A Stroke”

 

By C. A. Thomson

 

 

 Pale face, trembling.

 

Fiery eyes bulging.

 

Hot flush, blood pressure rising.

 

Dizziness.

 

Slack jaw.

Then nothing!

 

Mind reeling, numb feeling.

 

I've had  a stroke, it would seem! 

No embolism though.

 

Not a stroke of the cerebral kind,  

 

but a stroke of luck!

 

“I’ve won the lottery!

 

and I’m told on good authority,

 

that in the fullness of time, my euphoria will heal.
