Sonnet I

I know it's been a while since my last post,
On which you've all suggested great ideas
To pass the time when ill (it feels like years);
I've pondered which suggestion I like most.
So thank you all: there's much I may well try,
From learning something new to writing stuff -
The latter, though, is likely to be tough
(I'm writing this in iambs, by the by).

In other news, there's little to report
Except my neutrophils, which have arrived!
The count is 0.6: enough indeed
To see me home anon - a lovely thought.
Since Monday, when they reappeared, they've thrived:
Perhaps I'll get the time out that I need.
