The Curse of Low Cholesterol
August 5, 2007 by John Hewitt
The thin balding doctor
Brilliant they say
Flush with his degree
From the University of Nevada – Reno
Tut-tuts me about my weight
And runs all of usual tests
Extracts and measures my blood
To confirm that my fatness
Is killing me
But my cholesterol is low
Not high
Too low
He tells me
The good cholesterol
Has nary a toehold
In my system
Diet and exercise
You self-deluded porker
To raise your cholesterol
And so I am stuck either way
High or low
Good or bad
The answer is diet and exercise
And the question is
How do you make the next few years
Of your life
As tedious as possible

Ironic, isn’t it? I had a doctor last year tell me that if I didn’t smoke or drink coffee all day long, that my LOW blood pressure probably would have killed me by now. Then, she told me she’d write me a prescription to quit smoking. Err…
At least she didn’t tell me to exercise. ;-)
