Poem Artwork


 


Charley horse in the thigh,


I ask myself always why,


Hurts to high heaven,


Wish again that I was only seven…


 


Dreams make me fearful,


Awakening quite tearful,


But let time go on through the day,


As it gets better I get more cheerful in a way…


 


Rufuz wants out,


Its pouring rain,


Puts on our friendship a strain,


In the end he gets his way,


After all, he ends up staying in all day…

You had a time of it, between the charlie horse and the dog! Sometimes, just writing about it helps it to get better -- let's hope so, my friend. No more charlies in the middle of the night!
Love,
CJ

Eat a banana, my girlfriend SWEARS it stops the cramps. I hate them, too.

As for Rufuz, tell 'im there's nothing worse that wet dog. 'Course, nothing worse if Rufuz wets in the house: what to do? LOL
