Aches And Pains
by George J. Carroll → (All Poetry by George J. Carroll)

Hip and legs starting to go,

Can't walk around like I used to.

Too much discomfort in left hip.

Right hip was operated on 20 years ago.

 

If you live long enough

Your body may distract you.

Whoever said old age is a blessing,

Should hear my curses now.

 

Can't help complaining now and then,

I guess it shows I'm still human.

Some may not like it when I get grouchy,

Just walk in my shoes and you'll know why.
