********Arthritis********

Now I understand
It is too late, so says the doc
This pain is not forever
I refuse to believe.
Take this cast off and let me see.
Put it back on, I can't take the pain.
I'm sorry drama lady
I can't do a thing.
When you age (I really needed
to hear that) the body changes.
...and all this time I thought
the old folks were talking about
a man named Author...
Not my thumb and knee
of all places.  How will I
wear high heel shoes
until I am 85?
Author, author go away
Please don't be here to stay.

Louisa,

Great poem. No one likes to hear the words, "but you're body is older now", but you've taken it with a grain of salt and great humor.

Mary
