back pain (revised, repost), for contest

and now, an oldie but a goodie. :-)

sing to the lyrics of "bang, bang" (cher's version)

yep--wound up the old back again, all i was doing was going to bed--three steps away from it and down i went. So you lucky folks get to hear me whine. :-)


back pain--i'm on alert
back pain--it really hurts
back pain--it makes me cry
why me, oh, why me, oh, why

i don't know what i have done
lying here, in pain, no fun
once again, threw out my back
threw that sucker out of whack

back pain--i'm on alert
back pain--it really hurts
back pain--it makes me cry
why me, oh, why me, oh, why


in my back there is a catch
when it went, my breath it snatched
i was just going to bed
fell out on the floor instead

back pain--i'm on alert
back pain--it really hurts
back pain--it makes me cry
why me, oh, why me, oh, why

here i am, in bed again
a pitiful specimen
it really hurts when i sneeze
OH GOD OW THAT HURTS OH GEEZ

all i have is tylenol
that ain't helping, not at all
how am i supposed to rest
i can't even get undressed

back pain--i'm on alert
back pain--it really hurts
back pain--it makes me cry
why me, oh, why me, oh, why

how'm i gonna work like this
when my back just wants to hiss
pain severe, it is white-hot
the doc said my back is shot

back pain--i'm on alert
back pain--it really hurts
back pain--it makes me cry
why me, oh, why me, oh, why

One cannot truly understand the pain that comes from a bad back until one has experienced it - which I did a few years ago when I fractured a vertabrae in my back playing rugby.
Excellent poem Karla

I have three herniated discs myself, lower back, lifting patients on an ambulance many years ago...I find that anti-inflammatories, like motrin or the generic type and an Alleve or two works wonders, but with your job I don't envy you working, standing and lifting trays of food, that would be a bitch, sorry to hear about this, Peace, Ed & rufuz
