MISTAKES

I'd hoped to go through life with no mistake,
But that's a goal I did not make.
I doubt anything could be finer
Than that all the errors be minor
For which one blame must take.

YOUR THYROID

Is your thyroid working great?
How is your metabolic rate?
Have you seen your medic?
Is everything copesetic
Without a problem that could escalate?

Is your thyroid outputting thyroxin galore?
Or does your system need a little more?
Is the TSH from your pituitary
So high it's a little scary?
Then how is your free T4?

ALBATROS

This huge bird eats food from the ocean,
Makes long flights with no flapping motion
On narrow wings several feet long
Through frigid winds that oft are strong,
And tends its young with great devotion.

On wings narrow and long,
In winds cold and strong,
With no flapping motions,
It soars above the icy oceans
Where this huge bird belongs.
