The coopers family - David has diabetes


After all the nights with a large coke bottle in his hand and a hand in a lot of Christmas cakes, David developed diabetes after having itches in all parts of his body and each itch was very sticky, but this didn’t stop him from eating sugar but Ron hated him doing it and most of the time hid the sugary foods in his house but he wondered if it worked or not, he told don and raeleen to help him through it but David was very moody about it, like nobody will make him do anything he doesn’t want to do but every time he done that he scratched every diabetic itch on his body and began to hate himself because he fought his family about his sugar intake and this made his family wonder why he became a doctor but they kept on with the reason doctors make the worst patients, raeleen was really worried when he bought a packet of dairy milk fruit and nut and ate it all up in 5 minutes and then bought another pack which he was ready to eat it in another 5 minutes and then went to work to look after his diabetic patient as if this was going to help him get through it but this such patient never did a withdraw and David just accepted the fact that he was the same but after preaching when he talked about sugary foods, David went to the 7/11 to buy a bottle of coke and 8 packs of fruit and nut in which he eat straight away and his body was very itchy with a POISON itch, well that is what it felt like to David and David was too scared to give up sugar but everyone was saying, if you don’t give up, you will get the bad itch of DEATH and David was trapped into believing that sugar was helping him get on this world so he prescribed him some metaformin because he couldn’t afford ozempic even if he was thinking of taking the money out of the holiday fund even if raeleen has been bugging him about his diabetes, it wouldn’t be what raeleen wants him to do David thought, so he went back to buy a large bottle of coke from the 7/11 and drank it in the park where his family can’t bother him and the itch started to feel like ants biting him from within and David took a metaformin with a glug of coke which wasn’t the best thing to do because suddenly David put on 30 kg and it could go up even higher and the sugar levels will go up which isn’t really good and raeleen thought let’s get rid of all the sugary foods from the house so David can get help, but David still got itchy sensations but he tried to give up
But it wasn’t easy for him
I don’t know what the original problem is
I haven’t got a problem
I never robbed a bank
I never stole a car
I never bashed anyone
I blame you for my being sick in 2004
I wanted to live in a fantasy world
I wanted you to give me the internet
I didn’t know what I was doing
I though I would I like to water
Down the computer to grow a money tree
And click on the fertiliser about 50 times
To make the tree grow
The computer was a ****** up computer
And I was thinking that watering the
Computer will actually make it better
And I did this every day
I went to the mall to buy
A large bottle of coke
To tell everybody what I saw on tv
In my opinion
And I drank the 2 litre coke down fast
And I walked around the lake
Noticing the sky looking cosmic
And I never knew what was wrong
I was walking faster than normal
And I was visioning people
Trying to kidnap me
Once I got off the bus
But I was running away from then
I was scared and timid
I felt he was chasing me
Or trying to rob me
This happened a lot throughout the day
Coke walk coke computer money tree
Every bluming day
Then eventually I had an episode
Where I was getting phone calls
From people thinking they were old
Mates wondering how I was
I killed my family cat
I don’t know why, I was sick
The police came over
To stand over me and then
I was thrown into the paddy wagon
And I yelled out help I am being kidnapped
And I was given a shot of medication
When I entered the psych ward
And I pushed through every time
My parents visited me
But I felt I was entering the gates of heaven and I was becoming a Buddhist
Seeing god fixing people off to
Their next lives
But I was eating all the soup
And I was missing the computer
But I still thought my parents were
Overreacting
And I was let out and
I still wanted to water down the computer
So the money tree can grow
But I was given a strong medication (risperidal) which was a bad one which started a series of look ups  which was worst than me when I was sick
Then in 2009 I was taken off those drugs and put on  seroquel to stop the look ups but I wasn’t off the medication I swear but
I was sick again and I was feeling I was pushing my apartment up into the air into outer space but I through a lot of stuff outside the door and off to the psych ward and I got out in time for Christmas and I watched the Christmas carols and I yelled with pat saying it is Christmas Brian
The second time I wanted to be an artist and writer and YouTube entertainer and I hated how my family were getting in the way
I am sitting all alone
On a park bench
Waiting for the buskers
To play our songs
Whether they come out quickly
Or take so long
They should be enjoyable
*** *** *** whack him on the ***
Say to each other why don’t you hum
But then after that
The first busker came out
And sang American pie to the crowd
Each verse was sang very well
The last was all so loud
Then they sang joy to the world
By three dog night
And sang out loud being heard right
Into the night
They partied right and all through the night
Never worried what will happen
When the crowd will come out and fight
Then the second busker came
His name was don hoy
And sang on the road again
Thinking about the coach he drove
All over the country
Travelled from Sydney right through
To Perth city
Don hoys version of the song took a while
As he dropped into sale
To pick up Lyle
And take him around the country
They got on well
Being loud, can’t you tell
But Lyle wanted a hot cuppa mate
It isn’t too late
To be with your mate
But I miss my mum and dad
The second song don hoy sang
Was I am Australian by the seekers
You see he missed Judith Durham
And wanted to see her dead body
Through a peeper
When he was supposed to say
We share a dream don said drink
Because that is what the Aussies do
The third song was looking for an echo
And he sounded like ole 55
So as he sang the song
People put money in his hat
The echo was played and
The buskers all went home
I talk too much
About playing football
And doing art like a **** stirring old man
And I talk about partying in the street
And how I can have fun
Doing what I want to do
I talk about baseball and cricket
And who will really win
I talk about my favourite bands
And what I think they should play
Play rock and roll
Blues and a tad of jazz
And kids music Christmas carols
Songs about the Easter bunny
And anthems about 4th Of July
As well as scary music of Halloween
I just love to talk mate
And if you keep on talking Briany
It will be a fun day for all
I talk about fun days
About superheroes nightclubs children playing oh yeah I feel good
I also talk about rugby league
Rugby union Aussie rules and basketball
And I talk about my favourite team
Canberra Penrith parramatta and Newcastle and the New South Wales blues, they won ‘yay’
And I go for brumbies wallabies even 1 from New Zealand and Carlton Sydney port Adelaide and Fremantle and Brisbane  and the GWS giants from aerial ping pong
But I like it a lot
I like to talk and
If you keep on talking briany
It will be a fun day for all
I talk about hot pants cold potato chips
Going you are a cool dude don’t deny it
I talk about KFC Kingsley’s Lido cherry bean they have really good food
I talk about house parties club parties park parties where the music is pretty rad
I like 50s 60s 70s and 80s
And 90s as well
I hate rap hip hop ****** love songs wild hogs no dogs
But I am starting to get used to them
I talk while we play Yahtzee and being artzie and watching a tv show
I talk to mum I talk to my other mum I talk to my brother cousins aunties and uncles
And to Buddha who knows where the dead are when they move to next lives
I talk all the time
But if you keep on talking briany
It will be a fun day for all
I talk to Christians about why they choose heaven and Muslims on why they want to **** and catholics why they go after the young and I like Jews and Buddhists
Yes I love to talk
I say yo it’s Brian and I am  here to say
Talking is the fun thing I do all day
Even politicians get a mention
Like the left wing likes the poor
And the right wing don’t give a toss
Put right wing on detention
And boy love to talk about myself
Yes I get a mention
And if you keep on talking briany
Everyone has fun with you
I want to party I want I want to party
With women and wine and a piece of
Roast Swine and then I get down with
A bourbon and coke and scream out
It can’t be done it can’t be done oh yeah
I party up and party down
Through one place into the ground
Come on Aussies win the Olympics
And make me a happy man
But despite America having better
Gymnasts and basketballers as well as golf
They never win other things except for track and field
And after they win
They head off to the pub and party on
And then you see a lot of kids
The future of the world
Taking up gymnastics in America
As well as golf
Look out for Parker ballinger gym
And Ryan Donnelly golf
It will be interesting
To see them become good sportsman
Despite them being catholics
Change your name to something
Less Catholic
And party on dudes
Right till the end
I feel close to vlogs but not in a strange way
1 2 3 o clock 4 o clock rock
Every day I do things by the clock
Watching music concerts on YouTube
And watching footy on kayo
It is the most radical think I can do
If you want to know my secret
Athena she works on my teeth
Through ibuprofen which helps
Athena help them
Party on matey
Two shy people met in a lane
Bowed most politely
Bowed once again
Saying I don’t get pushed
By other people
I just do what you do
You see shy people sit in their house
Pretending they are too shy to be like the crowd
Nobody likes them
They are too shy
Nobody likes them at all
You see these cool people saw
Two shy people playing in the park
Sometimes basketball
Sometimes footy
But if a woman walked past
They don’t think of ***
Because they are too shy
You see sometimes it is good to be
Two shy people in the street
One eats potato chips
One squeezes down drain pipes
And because he is shy
A man walks out and toasts
Him with a nice cold beer
Two shy people walked in the city
Looking at everything there
They look at the people
Lining up for the clubs
And walk past dangerous flats
But nothing will happen
Nothing will happen
Cause you are so shy
Two shy people went to the family concert
To see you what bands were playing
There was this band
Playing in civic the babies are dancing
Boy they are so cute
Two shy people went to glebe park
To have beer and listen to the band
And have a meal in the food court
It was great to come out of my shell
Two shy people saw jimmy barnes
Singing along to all of his wonderful hits
Cheered very loudly
People were staring
But who gives a toss about that
Two shy people danced on the dance floor
One just danced the other attracting attention
If they got teased
By people who were just jealous
Party on shy
Party on shy
There is nothing wrong with being shy
We are just learning
I started my young years
Watching right on on television
Keeping up to date on my fave music
I thought I was the only one who loved music
But then I found out the real music fans
Loved young talent time and countdown
And I was watching them a bit
And I bought an album called CHOC-A-BLOCK which was a bit like the chocolate ice cream named choc-block really tasty
Then I watched the local soccer match where the local boys Lakes United were playing after feeling fit and tired running in a church carnival, and each this morning we watched the breakfast club, which was a children’s morning cartoon show they had in Newcastle with Art Ryan who had a Nick name ‘poppa’ and each morning when they delivered the orange juice my brother and I went to the door to collect it and banged our heads on the wall as I was thinking the song the Judas Priest song get arrested for breaking the law as we banged our heads on the wall and we used to tape tv shows like mork and mindy on cassette from tv and you could hear the background noise and when robin williams said at the end see you next week, my brother on the last show said, hey it isn’t on next week, I was walking to the shops to buy to buy lollies I came home and my dad and my brother were watching the cricket and then banana splits and in other room mum was watching bellbird which in some episodes me and my brother talked through it so she couldn’t hear it and then the underarm ball happened in the cricket with Greg Chappell asking his brother Trevor to bowl an underarm bowl to stop the 11th place batsman from hitting a six and this was outrageous because he wasn’t capable of hitting a six like that
They only needed six to win and we went to my nannas house and me and my nanny watched 70s rock music concert and everyone on everybody gave me a rock music concert cassette and it got me closer with my brother who fought constantly like all brothers when we knew nothing about each other and nanny used to hold Christmas every Christmas night while granny used to do Christmas Eve and my cousin Alan played Santa and nanny’s do and I used to count the dongs on granny’s clock and when it struck seven I got up to watch the breakfast club
This was every weekday morning and every afternoon I loved the Mickey Mouse club but granny loved talking on the phone and someone rang about 5 minutes before the Mickey Mouse club started and I had to lip read it for a while and every Saturday morning we watched SOUNDS with Donnie Sutherland and me and my brother said daddy Summerville as a joke against daddy’s age and I was bullied in a taxi with the only good thing about it that we got off at the oak factory to buy a fresh ice cream, we loved to listen to our fave music, I liked the beach boys and my brother liked the Beatles and my dad loved jazz and mum loved the soaps back then but not now, when I moved to Canberra I found out about Australian rules football where we all went for Carlton and my brother and I played Aussie rules competitions in the front yard and occasions a few of my school friends walked past teasing me because they were jealous of my great imagination playing footy in the front yard, what is he thinking and I had a rough friend who bowled like Harold larwood and a strong league tackler and at that time he was a good friend along with Brett and Brian and Carla and frank as I invited them to birthdays where we had donut eating contests where we hung donuts on the clothes line and we tried to eat the donut off the line before it fell off the line to it’s timely death and because we loved to camp as a family in a tent, I wanted to put the tent up in the backyard and we all had slumber parties in the tent pretending we were camping with family, our stuffed animals were the kids, when we played front yard footy we used to go to the squash court to play squash and I played racquet ball and I was pretending to be the footy player unwinding after a long day of playing footy, and afterwards we went to the Yass footy club for dinner and I made rissoles, orange pork chops, and other things and we all pretended to be in a restaurant ordering the same music
I used to play bus routes where I pretended our drive way was the Belconnen bus interchange and I drove all the buses in and I developed a few new bus numbers like the 666 Which went from kippax to Belconnen to Dickson to city to the airport to Manuka to deakin to Woden to Cooleman court to the cotter and finished in Tuggeranong and I used to collect toy cars and smurfs and bus timetables and I was the go-to man when my parents wanted to catch the bus, I used to play tv shows in my room on my granny and nanny’s front torch with people telling me to be quiet all the time
I watched rage and I sang all the songs reading the words from the cassette cover and sometimes when I sang music with my cousins my uncles and aunts were wanting me to stop because I dragging their kids down the wrong way and I played with two cousins in the pool having a lot of fun and I was letting the kids do anything, mate I was just a kid and a mate jumped on and off the pool ladder going the big ummmmmm
I was scared and sat there thinking of all the fun I had as a kid, who cared if I got teased I had fun
Ya know fun, it is what people did before computers took over
I was a normal child
