ME- AND MY STOMA --REVIEW

ME AND MY STOMA. (REVIEW) TO THE TUNE ME AND MY SHADOW



ME - AND MY STOMA CRADLE IT LIKE A BABY AND SWAY


ALL ALONE AND FEELING BLUE LOOK DOWNCAST AND SAD


TAP DANCE AND SWIVEL HOLDING


STOMA AS YOUR PARTNER.


ME - AND MY STOMA CRADLE IT AGAIN AND SWAY


NO ONE TO TELL OUR TROUBLES TOO. FEIGN CRYING AND USING TISSUE.



IT GRUMBLES AT ME ALL THE TIME FLAP FINGERS AT IT AS IF IT’S NAGGING


BUT SELDOM DO I SEE THE SLIME PULL FACE AS IF IT’S NASTY


FOR IT WOULD BE A BIGGER DRAG INDICATE THAT IT WOULD BE A MESS


IF IT DID NOT GO IN A BAG. ALL OVER YOURSELF






ME- AND MY STOMA CRADLE IT LIKE A BABY AND SWAY


STUCK TOGETHER - JUST LIKE GLUE. FEIGN TRYING TO PULL IT OFF



ME - AND MY STOMA CRADLE IT LIKE A BABY AND SWAY


BAG’S BUNGED-UP AND FULL OF POOH. HOLD IT LIKE A BALLOON FULL OF WATER





WHEN I GO OUT AND HIT THE TOWN MAKE LIKE YOU’RE DRIVING


I HOPE THAT IT WON’T LET ME DOWN. WAG A WARNING FINGER AT IT


FOR THERE IS NOTHING LIKE THE SMELL HOLD YOUR NOSE


FROM WAYWARD SHIT FROM STOMA’S HELL. WAVE HAND OVER STOMA





ME – AND MY STOMAWALK THE WALK


STROLLING DOWN THE AVENUE AROUND AND BACK


ME- AND MY STOMA COVER IT UP


TALKING ABOUT IT’S A TABOO.FINGER TO LIPS --shhh



I’VE THOUGHT ABOUT IT QUITE A LOTTAP THE SIDE OF YOUR HEAD


AND I AM GLAD THAT I HAVE GOTSMILE AND LOOK PLEASED


A WAY TO RID MYSELF OF GROTWAVE AT BACKSIDE


WITHOUT THE NEED TO SIT OR SQUAT.PRETEND TO LIFT TOILET SEAT

To Rosiesmom. Thanks for the idea!Obviously the song is on the left of the page and the stage instructions on the right. If you can get someone to do a duet it would be more effective as the intermediate verses should be done at a quicker tempo than the 'me and my stoma' bits. Best wishes Bill

You are awesome, I could feel Rosie doing her thing. I laughed so hard. All those other stars are going to be jealous and wanting their own song. Maybe Mr. Rogers is a saint in the neighborhood. Ha. Thanks again, maybe if I can get Rosie a bit tipsy, my daughter-in-law would join in. Keep them coming, Rosiesmom.

Hello Rosiesmom. It was a pleasure to be distracted by something humorous for a short while as I'm presently half way through my second tome on the subject of 'Bullying'and needed a bit of a break. I really enjoyed the imaginative visualisation of you (and/or others) performing the routine on stage and have subsequently envisaged other ways that it could be made into a stand-up comedy act that could both entertain and inform people about living with a stoma. It's funny how a small idea like this can catch the imagination and trigger renewed enthusiasm for creating ways to entertain and educate. I hope to see you and your daughter in law on youtube soon!! Best wishes Bill

Hello Rosiemom. Thank you for suggesting to Bill the tune to "Me And My Shadow". What an inspired idea you had! And of course, thank you Bill for "Me And My Stoma". I loved singing it, not that I can sing! The words are exactly us. Best wishes from Marilyn.

Hello Marilyn. Thanks for the post. If it wasn't for people like Rosiesmom coming up with good ideas people like me might be hard pushed to find things to write about. As for the singing - if you look on youtube at the sorts of people that have attempted the original 'me and my shadow' there are very few of them that are accomplished 'singers'. The song and the tune is there to be enjoyed and 'enacted' by ordinary folk rather than 'sung' proficiently. (a bit like 'You'll never walk alone'.) 'Me and my stoma' is the sort of song that could be performed at a stoma conference in a group caroche session. It's the sort of thing we used to do in the end of year student reviews many years ago! Nowadays it'll be one or two brave souls that perform it and post it on the internet.Best wishesBill

Hi Marilyn, I too have had a good time singing it, if you can call what I do singing. LOL. I had the idea for ages, and thanks to our uber-talented Bill, I can belt it out (only when home alone, of course). Ha. I love it. I love Bill's idea of making it a performance piece; I just don't think I am quite brave enough, yet. I need to teach Rosie her part. Ha. Rosiesmom
