A Gallimaufry

In my first volume of poetry, titled VOICES, I introduced my readers to a few of the many patients I have had the privilege of caring for during 40 years of family practice. I let them speak in their own words of the crises afflicting them and their attempts, sometimes successful but often futile, to overcome the challenges they faced.



In this volume I share with you a few more of my patients' stories.



But most of the poems in this volume are my observations and commentary about our world.



Some are dramatic and quite serious; some are playful and even quirky.



It is a potpourri, a salmagundi, a gallimaufry to say the least.



Enjoy.
