The Freeloading Leech
hypothyroidism thinks she’s my boss
she’s parked all crooked in a long black hearse
but she ain’t nothin’ but an albatross
if I could evict her, I’d see weight loss she’s living rent-free while I’m unreimbursed
hypothyroidism thinks she’s my boss
if she’d signed a lease, her ass out I’d toss
she’s a freeloading leech: a needy curse
yeah, she ain’t nothin’ but an albatross
she struts around me like she’s awesome sauce
she thinks that I think things couldn’t be worse
hypothyroidism thinks she’s my boss
like toxic beggar lice, she comes across
she sticks far too close, her attitude terse
but she ain’t nothin’ but an albatross
unlike her, I feel joyful – seldom cross –
‘cause I’ve got friends who’ll gang up in verse
hypothyroidism thinks she’s my boss
but she ain’t nothin’ but an albatross

Wow, great strong images and language. This reads as if you really let go. I also have this but my dosage is lower than that in the photo, maybe that’s why it doesn’t bother me as much as you. I enjoyed your villanelle.Favorite line- parked all crooked…

Your villanelle packs a good punch at hypothyroidism. You used such great words: boss, awesome sauce, and albatross. Did you have a handy dandy rhymezone tab? It's my right hand man when I have a rhyming form.

This line makes me giggle: “if she’d signed a lease, her ass out I’d toss”I love the order of the words. Like Margaret said, I love the great rhyme groups. Well done!
