I must apologize in advance for this is just plain silly but with all the stress, I needed the relief of nonsense. I love to cycle in the sun - a lot. It's a long, cool winter here so a lot of cycling is not in the sunshine. Sometimes my knee reminds me that I'm not as young as I used to be. Still, so far, I'm still cycling down and up the mountain and I am grateful for it. Oh, and another reason this came to me is that I did not have a title starting with "k" in the alphabet. Go figure how the mind works in the midst of night.
Knee
Without my knee I cannot see What I want to see Without my knee You see I cannot be Where I want to be So I could see What I want to see Without my knee You see I’m not really me Where would I be Without my knee?
Hoping you can keep riding cause I sense it's a great passion in your life. Being able to think this up, makes sense and finding something with K since you've had nothing, is simply great.
Wow! 1st hope you don't mind me sayin' - Reg.. YOu look GREAT... I see why bikeriding is another passion of yours! What a Bod and smile! Awesome! You know for the knee I use Glucosamine Condrointin with MSM.. and I love it, It works... I am in my early 40's and I found my knees having pain, plus I eat sardines. *( I'll send you a seper. email on all the rest) anyway- your poem remeinds me of a Dr.Seuss story... Kids- now, this knee has gotten me from here to there, without my knee-- I wouldn't be anywhere.... I love your funny side too! It helps to be quirky at times, I need to the same for the seriousness in life/etc... Great write R ~ Warm HuGs, Sheeeoxo
Amen. Glucosamine Condritine works to help my knees work the way they used to. You probably got a few years on me, so double up on the doses, bro! My ankles cause me problems too..years and years of sports...sight. great write!
Dear Regis, we all need a little silliness in our lives, because we'd all be insane if we didn't. This is a very good light-hearted poem, and I agree with Muhammad too, it is the truth, because without our knees, we couldn't walk like we do, or sit like we do, or ride bicycles. If we didn't have knees, we couldn't stoop or bend to pick something up. So our knees are just as important as the rest of our body. And even Stephanie put a little silliness in here too, by asking what did you smoke before writing this (giggles). Without silliness and without our knees, hmmm who knows how we'd get along (giggles).
May the Lord Jesus bless you, and those whom you love, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your little sister, Barbie
"If I have to be this girl in me, Then I have the right to be."
And it's the truth. I can see that without smoking anything. A fine poem. Enjoyed it (I write similar poems sometimes but I'm not allowed to publish them, yet I will).

No need to apologize!! Ray [hubby} has a bad knee. Been following a
P.T.-prescribed exercise program for at least two months, & the
thing is still giving him problems. ~~ I can hardly think because
I keep sneaking peeks at you. Trick knee or no, you are in
great shape. I can barely ride a bike. Reckon I should get
one? Stationery deal is. . .well. . .stationery. ~~ In-nee-waaaay.
Thanks for the smiles. Hope your knee gets better! 'Pea' <3
I, too have pointless poems to write, like my last. What counts is that you can still ride. My knee tells me that it isn't long before it won't support my weight when I transfer with help. Still, I remember bike rides with abandon in my youth--you never forget how to ride--or how to write about its thrill.
got this message, loud and clear, regis! been hobbled for the last 4 weeks with a tweeked knee-- doc says it will need another 3 or more to heal--- better do so, 'cause i don't want to give up the tango!
take care, poet,

Nothing wrong with nonsense. Especially when written to heal. And actually Reg, I think the poem speaks volumes. When something, anything, including knees keep us from the things we enjoy it can be quiet a pain...;) I have arthritis in my hands and sometimes it keeps me from writing, cooking, alot of things that I enjoy. So I know the sentiments here well. But when I am able to use them again, ah the joy is unspeakable! Good day to you dear friend.
This was absolutely great. It is true that we can not see without our knees because we wouldn't get very far. I suffer from severe arthritis and my knees just squint some days!
You'd be in a peck o' trouble without that ol' knee, Regis, that is for darn sure! Thank God for the ol' knees, even when they misbehave! LOL Well done, mon ami, well done! C'est magnifique!
Cool bananas Regis!!
God bless you knee... and the other one too!!
Great pic with your bicycle!!
Keep smiling free spirit!
Love and Peace and Hugs to you!! Many smiles too!!

We do take things for granted, don't we? Couldn't live without my glucosamine/chondroitin, Reg. Otherwise the old knee snaps, crackles pops and pains. It works! Takes awhile to kick in tho(can't take it if you're allergic to shellfish). Hope this helps sweet...
Don't be blowing that knee out,
we are not as young as we used to be,
though you are in MUCH better shape that me,
I envy you those rides, at least the downhill part,
Then I would for all to hear shout...ed

Cycling and walking is great form of exercise...and yep, we need to make sure our knees and all the other working and moving parts, are well oiled with precision !
Keep on trucking, and work on other areas of the body, when one part is playing up...nurse it along Reg !
Peter
Awwwwwwwww you wayyyyyy to sexy for your shirt anyways...rub it with deep-heat and it will be ready in two ticks...lol....oh how I can relate to the old bone senario.....hehehehe!!
Jolly good question... blokes and their knees, I dunno... first sign of middle-age, I think! Tis all those soccer injuries winning the world cup at age 13!! :)) But so true... we don't know the value of each bit of our bodies until they decide to play us up... do you know it is nearly impossible to walk without a big toe, for example? Who'da thought? But my oh my... that great tan makes up for a lot, I'd say... my brother used to pay me sixpence to massage his knee when I was 10... could do with the cash, Regis...?? !! A silly review of a highly delightful post... bet plenty would like you to invest in a tandem, Sweetheart... :)) LOL Kate xx
Clever and funny, Regis...yeah, I too know about knees..having been a distance runner for many years, I keep believing that one day I will again be doing those long runs. It may be just a dream, but I am a firm believer in visualization making things a reality. I can still cycle, though, and with clipless pedals my knees seem to do fine, but there again, about 20-30 miles is now my limit.
Take care,
Sherry

The Knees! You may have begun a New Topic here... for instance, my knees have personally seen nearly every sidewalk in helena montana... on some occasions, bloody intimate, 'scuse the word play, but necessary in light of the mental vision being transmitted. My knees were Knobby but quick to slide as far as gravity would allow, on every terrain. Those knees have seen what Eyes would often miss...
As you say --Where would any of us be, without our knees?
Ha! What fun this day-- thanking you Regis... you've shared your fun and wit across the world when is Kneeded---
Regis, this may be a mind-bender, since it's not a knee-bender, but it sure is a trend-ender! [ the end of the youthful knees!]
Too true...but I enjoyed your humor, so I bend mine...to you!
