Ah pain, we hate it, but write of it...


Poem Artwork

No more WHINE from the peanut gallery…


 


I have so much in life whined,


Some have thought that this did me define,


I have tried not to others malign,


Though of my life of whine I feel I should resign…


 


Yes my body does ache,


Though never when I eat steak,


Sick I do get when junk food and drink I do imbibe,


Far be it from me to complain as I do not herein ascribe…


 


The wet weather does make my old body in pain languish,


Allergy season does as well bring on a certain anguish,


The cold does put me into painful throes,


Even the warmth does on my sense of humor foreclose…


 


What do I say here is the question you ask,


Maybe that in pain of some kind we all do bask,


Or am I taking my personal pain to task,


Better though I have found to carry my medicine in a flask…J
