Something’s wrong
11-10-09

Nails chipped
cracked and split
think my back
slipped a disk.
Feet are flat
hurt like hell
hemorrhoids
itch and swell.

Knees in pain
toenails thick
neck is stiff
got a crick.
Eyes weak
hair’s all gone
beginning to think
something’s wrong.

Bowels are loose
got the flu
called the Doc.
said it’s true.
Took some Meds.
allergic that
thought I’d die
just got fat.

Teeth fell out
all but one
chewing gum
ain’t no fun.
Stop me if
you’ve heard
this song,
but I’m almost sure…
something’s wrong!

Stop you? Hell, I'm living it along with you Jack! I really needed a laugh today, even at my own expense. The only problem is that my whole left side hurts and laughing makes it hurt worse temporarily -- but it's worth it.

You are so versatile in subject, form, rhymed, blank verse, as well as the emotions that you evoke every time you put pen to paper. Humor was the order of the day for me. I'm glad it was for you too.

I’ve been laid up for the most of three days with a pain in my right knee, thus this poem.
The first stanza I dedicate to my wife and all the ladies who had the 'pleasure' of child birth. Thanks Becky for enjoying this little poem.

This poem is a goodern. Here lately I've been limping due to a knee injury and also nursing a lower back injury as well. I am 52 going on 80 but today I feel as strong as seasoned hickory.

Due to my physical injuries and physical limitations I retired from big game hunting on 11-21-09.

129 white tailed deer.
36 wild turkeys
4 black bears
4 wild hogs
1 ram

Tough retiring from something you love, I know the feeling well. I gave up construction when I was 74. Built my son’s home and that was it. Now I’m 80, remembering when.
