Our Chairman Ray Winder wrote this great poem in support of Men’s Prostate Cancer Awareness.
Show that you care, be aware!
Make sure that you are really aware,
Pass on this message to show that you care.
**
Its starts with a little fumble no one will know,
It could stop many problems that grow and grow.
**
Your life might have changed you thought it’s a mystery,
You kept waking every night wanting to Pee.
**
You just feel “oh well nothing’s wrong it must be just me”,
I will stop drinking after I`ve had my evening tea.
**
By self-diagnosing Men feel it will go away,
But that`s where they are wrong don`t go astray.
**
Contact your doctor for a small blood test,
Nothing too major and all for the best.
**
If anything is found, things move fast,
Various treatments that positively will last.
**
Its best to get things sorted the sooner the better,
Don’t let Cancer be a massive spreader.
**
There are numerous individuals who have done all this,
It’s definitely worth it so don’t give it a miss.
**
Be aware all this doesn’t happen individually overnight,
But its all worthwhile as the end soon comes in sight.
**
I share this knowledge because I have had that fiddle,
It was all worth it, otherwise I would not of written this riddle.
