The NHS has lost the recipe to toast

The NHS has lost the recipe to toast
And what worries me about this the most
Is it really is a simple thing
To toast the bread and make it sing

Firm and crunchy it should be
But no … soft and floppy is what we see
The ice cold butter just won’t spread
It snags and rips and tears the bread

And when it comes to cut in half
It goes well beyond a laugh
The knife is as blunt as a spoon
No way through that crust soon

I am living with Stage 4 lung cancer that has spread to my brain. These are my thoughts. It is a combination of serious articles and more light hearted stuff (like my ridiculous poems). Early articles are a bit heavy, but hopefully it becomes a little more light hearted! This is not a self help site there will be no advice on cancer related matters just my thoughts. Just for the record my name is Iain Trent, I am using the Blog name of John Frank because they are the names of my Grandads. I did not want this blog to jump up to anyone who searched for me so it is a way of providing some limited anonymity hopefully without being a catfish.
