"OH MY VERTIGO" by K. Kuspa
(sung to the tune of "Oh Suzannah"...)
1.
Oh, I spun so hard,
the other night
I thought I was a top
I laid my head and tried to rest,
But it just would not stop!
---
2.
Oh,
the doctor said it was my ear,
The next said it was stress
Another gave me happy pills
He said I was depressed.
-------------
[CHORUS]
*OH,
my vertigo!
*What have you done to me!
*I have left the land of sanity
*And am spinning endlessly!
-----------
3.
The
fourth said my neck was messed up
The vertebrae were skewed
So I went into traction
Just to please this fancy dude!
-----------
4.
Another
doctor saw me
She said it was migraine
and then she plainly told me
not to come back again!
-------------
[CHORUS]
------------
5.
Another said I'd had a stroke,
Another said, "AMEN!"
The eighth, she said, "A
PLF!"
The ninth, he said "MM!"
--------------
6.
My HMO is sick of me,
but "they'll do what they can;"
But
then, I heard--it was a joke!
I was not in their plan!
----------
[CHORUS]

Poems about Tinnitus
By Gerald B. Frank
Otoneurology Index  Search This Site Reader Contributions
Tinnitus O
The bells are ringing in my ears
As theyve been ringing all these years,
And as I listen to their peel,
I wonder
if theyre really real?
The bells are ringing in my ears -
Unreally real for all these years!
Tinnitus C
This morning I can hear the roar
Of whistles deep inside my craw,
The hiss of steam is most insistent,
I hope
today Ill prove resistant
To its constant noisome noise
Lest it dampen this days joys.
If I live a wholesome day,
Will
the ringing go away?
Ha! As I rise to write this poem,
The hissing stops - leaves me alone!
Ill live this day as
best I can,
Until the hissing starts again.
Tinnitus A
The hissing in my ear goes on
Like an operatic song,
One by Verdi, not Bellini,
Led by Solti, not, Guilini,
Sung
and played in monotone
On my ear-drum gramophone!
Tinnitus X
As I lie here on the floor
To exercise my back once more,
I just relax - sometimes I dose
(As he whos done it
surely knows!) -
The quiet and the silence reign
Except I hear that hiss again,
The constant hiss of Tinnitus;
Now,
tell me why he makes a fuss -
He comes with me where eer I go,
Summer, winter, sun or snow;
I keep him warm inside
my head,
He reads with me each book Ive read,
He shares my meals, my kids, my walks,
My jokes, my triumphs and my
talks!
So why, I wonder, does he mess
With my quiet happiness?
Tinnitus Z
The constant hiss of Tinnitus
is growing more and more,
Its getting louder worries me -
I wonder whats in store?
I
wake and hear my Tinnitus,
the hissing in my ears,
I walk and hear that Tinnitus
exacerbating fears!
Please, tell
me what is Tinnitus,
and tell me, please, why me?
And tell me what I have to do
to be of Tinnitus free?
Tinnitus ZC
Hissing, hissing in my ears
Makes me feel so very queer,
Makes me wonder will I be
Losing soon my sanity,
Makes
me wonder what comes next -
Who implanted this mean hex?
Yet, when I think of other things
My Tinnitus in silence
sings!
Tinnitus ZF
Tinnitus, Tinnitus in my ear -
I hope you'll soon, yes, disappear,
You've got my brain so nicely curled
I've got to get you from my world!
