Humor: The Toe of Gout! by Mark Tulin/R U Joking

"Gout gets in the way of everything. Even the bass from my neighbor’s stereo agitates my toe. My cat’s heavy butt on my foot sends pain waves directly to my brain. When my joints get inflamed, I walk with a limp and grimace every few seconds while the rest of the world whizzes past me."

I am an author, poet, humorist, and short story writer living in Long Beach, California. I write about various topics, from my early childhood in Philadelphia to my years as a family therapist and finally to my soul-searching in California. These are poetic narratives that may have humorous or serious content or both. Either way, I hope my poetry and stories resonate with you. My books include Magical Yogis, Uncommon Love Stories, Awkward Grace, Junkyard Souls, and Rain on Cabrillo.

    My father dealt with gout, which was very hard for him when he had episodes. He was even hospitalized at times. I hope you don’t have bad bouts with it all the time, Mark.
