Oh look, Chicken Thursday!

I did get my CT scan late on Monday night at 11:00pm, which was wonderful because I am a night owl and the hospital was pretty much quiet. Thank you for your fun poem, haiku, and limerick submissions which I found very entertaining - for a number of reasons, lol! They are today's Cleanlaugh.

Today's video share is one of my favourite riddles.

I (Pastor Tim) was having some health issues so I invited Cybersalt Digest Subscribers to lighten things up by writing a poem, haiku, or limerick with the words diverticulitis, CT scan, and antibiotics in it.

Here are the submissions in the order they were received!

The Maladies of Pastor Tim

Diverticulitis?  Antibiotics?  A CT scan?  Is this right?  Could this be the plan?

I think Tim has a hangnail, a boil, and a really ugly zit.  Much easier to rhyme so this must be it—a new diagnosis if the doctor permits.

- Debbie C.

I hate when I don't feel well
It hurts right to the soul.
I'm one of God's children
Therefore I should be whole.

But alas I am mistaken
And so, our Lord must right us.
We can't always be one hundred percent;
Therefore diverticulitis.

So the doctor wants a CT scan.
Hope it's not a mistake.
But I can't tell, until I'm feeling well.
So, these xxx antibiotics I'll take.

- Jean B

I wasn't feeling well one day,
So I called my Dr up.
He said I'll order a CT scan,
and see what's in your gut.
It's diverticulitis he said,
as his eyes looked towards the sky.
I believe an antibiotic will do
with lots of prayers thrown in.
I'll see you back in three more weeks
If I don't see you before.

There was a Tim without a beard, who said, 'It is just as I feared! 

Bad digestion, CT scans and antibiotic, make my life totally chaotic. 

- Gerard D.

Tickle, tickle.
Tickle, tickle.
Diverticulitis.

- R. Duoos

Having Diverticulitis
Is something that doesn't excite us
Using a CT scan
The doc said this is your problem my man
Now antibiotics will hopefully right us

A wise old gentleman retired and purchased a modest home near a junior high school. He spent the first few weeks of his retirement in peace and contentment.

Then a new school year began. The very next afternoon three young boys full of youthful after-school enthusiasm came down his street beating merrily on every trash can they encountered. The crashing percussion continued day after day, until finally the wise old man decided it was time to take some action.

The next afternoon, he walked out to meet the young percussionists as they banged their way down the street. Stopping them, he said, "You kids are a lot of fun. I like to see you express your exuberance like that. I used to do the same thing when I was your age. Will you do me a favor? I'll give you each a dollar if you'll promise to come around every day and do your thing."

The kids were elated and continued to do a bang-up job on the trash cans.

A few days later, the wily retiree approached them again as they drummed their way down the street. "Look" he said, "I haven't received my Social Security (Pension) check yet, so I'm not going to be able to give you more than 25 cents. Will that be okay?"

"A lousy quarter?" the drum leader exclaimed. "If you think we're going to waste our time beating these cans around for a quarter, you're nuts! No way, mister. We quit!"

And the old man enjoyed peace and serenity for the rest of his days.

Featured Illustrations are items well suited for illustrating or inspiring a point in a sermon, speech, or devotional. Funny, moving, or perhaps even graphic, the point of them is the point you make with them.

Rev. James Snyder, God's Penman, writes . . . . 

Recently, the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage and I were able to take a well-earned vacation. One of our grandsons graduated from high school in Ohio, and we decided to go and celebrate with him. It is amazing what you learn when you go on a vacation.
