The Funny Thing

I have
Leukaemia
Sciatica
A prolapsed disc in my neck
Hepatitis C
Eight teeth left
Tinnitus
Cataracts in both eyes
Psoriasis
Chronic fatigue
Sleeping problems
No wife
No girlfriend
A rented flat with high rent
Very few friends
A van that is owned by someone else
A tenuous and limited income
No pot
No hash
No money in the bank
Four sisters
Three brothers
A mother
An ex-wife
A daughter
Two grandchildren
Four thousand miles between the past and The present
No real purpose
And
The funny thing is
At this point in time
I have never had it so good
