Since I'm here I'll write a poem,
Started now but where's it going?
Joy of love and pain of gout
Is what true art should be about.
I do love thee, know it well,
Love is lovely, gout is hell,
Fain would kiss thy sweet appendages
But my leg is swathed in bandages,
I would chase thee swift and quick
Though I hobble with a stick,
I would drink thee to the dregs,
Then I'd steal your pretty legs,
Come and stroll beneath the trees,
I just need some working knees,
Call the parson, bring the surgeon,
Love doth blossom, gout doth burgeon,
Lovers' tryst and cripple's curse,
Marry me and be my nurse.
Love and Gout

Now you know that urea crystal build-up is the cause of gout,
SO STOP TAKING THE PISS!
Or start, then you won't have gout.
LOL

Very clever FTSE, like it a lot. For me the most entertainingly menacing lines are :
"I would drink thee to the dregs,
Then I'd steal your pretty legs"
Wish I'd written them ;)
Perhaps I'll join in the theft and nick and remould later ;D lol
