Drama, Drama

Mama, Mama

sets ups for drama,

taking Dublin to urgent care.

Autism, Autism

"set up for drama,

it's always best to be prepared."

 

She says with "oh gawd-please-be-understanding" doe-eyed face and square grin:

 

"Front desk, front desk,

he has autism,

extra help 

may be a must."

 

"Nurse, nurse,

he has autism,

extra help

or he will fuss

if you...

take his temp,

check his weight,

his pulse, 

his heart,

tap his knee....

LOUDLY!

More like a scream really?!"

 

She laughs nervously.

 

"Doctor, doctor, 

don't check his ear

or prepare to get kicked.

We have history,

don't check his ear.

If you do,

please watch your shins."

 

Minutes later.................

Dublin, Dublin let the nurse take his temp,

check his weight, his pulse, his heart, tap his knee without a fight.

Dublin, Dublin let the doctor check his

lungs and ears

and...

after only a quick sigh of discomfort,

squealed with delight.

 

No scream.

No kicks.

 

...Mama, mama you be drama, drama.

Get a glass of wine!

If anything, you need to get calma, calma.

You're baby is just fine!

 

Health update: just constipated.
