I fell asleep
Upon the couch
And when I awoke
My leg cramped
A scream would
Most effectively say
What my nerve centers felt
But I didn't give way
Cause my leg was cramped
And I was in a cold sweat
If a doctor couldn't help
I'd see the nearest vet
But I couldn't move
From that spot
I really didn't
Feel so hot
When my leg cramped
And I felt that pain
I wanted to take a gun
What a shame
And blow that sucker
Off my body
Extreme, I know
But pain makes me oddy
Then it loosened
And I began to relax
The cramp went away
I was free at last

Lynn,
I'm stuck on your poetry page again! I know this feeling, for sure! Next time my leg is doing "the ugly", I will think about this poem to help ease the pain!
I stepped in a deep hole and almost broke my ankle last Sunday. Couldn't hardly walk the first day, but I worked on my job with the pain anyway all week. I've had the leg cramps myself, no fun. Take care cuzz you don't need to hurt.
A humorous look at the world and life through my eyes.
