THE OLD FOOL by mike Steeden

I’ve been out of the WP writing game of late trading my pen for what felt like a doctor’s stove poker…if, indeed, doctors carry such things. Thankfully, all is well. If I have a humorous memory of my necessary starvation prior to, or indeed when visiting the hospital, it is that of the delightful young lady, my nurse who guided me hither and yon upon arrival…me, a confused wanderer deep in pointless thoughts and hopeless plans to escape. Whatever, my lovely nurse lead me to my room; told me to discard my kit and put on a paper-thin gown of sorts. For reasons of modesty she left the room. Upon her return she burst into laughter. “Do you realize you put it on ‘back to front and inside out’? If you don’t mind I’ll put it on properly for you.” I replied saying “OK”. It was only then I realized there’s me dressed in just a facemask and glasses that have steamed up. No wonder she was laughing her head off…as was I. Once, what I presumed to be suitably dressed, said nurse pitched in pointing out I hadn’t put on ‘the shorts’. I’d know idea that there were any shorts, hence she led me to where my own ‘shorts’ lived. To my eye it appeared to be nothing more than a neatly folded glorified freshly ironed pillowcase. At this point she says, “By the way, it’s best if you don’t wear these shorts ‘back to front’ as there’s a slit open on the backside the doctor will need for access”. A major ‘gulp’ on my part followed. Back home, safe and confused, my how my dear Shirl bust a gut…so to speak. Now you know why I call myself, The Old Fool!

Whatever, my latest book, ‘MAYDAY’ remains alive and well. Herewith a re-run of the video curtesy of my son’s endeavors.

As to said new book, ‘MAYDAY’, should it be of interest, this tome is available in the UK and way beyond these shores via AMAZON. ‘Tis for FREE on KINDLE UNLIMITED, alternatively just £3.29 on regular KINDLE or, if the PAPERBACK takes your fancy, a mere, £6.99 or equivalent outside of the UK.
