A NEW KNEE

Michael Edwards

 

 

A NEW KNEE

 

 

It’s a new knee for me

so housebound I’ll be

unable to drive

but I’ll survive

though it might be a while

before I compile

a poem to post

but I’ll do my utmost

to ensure that my pen

is soon active again.

        Gee thanks - I will obey them. The one problem I have is that I can't use ice packs being a sufferer of cold induced urticaria - a toss up between pain and insufferable itching. Heigh ho!
