~`` Knees - Parody of Trees

Thad Wilk

I think that there could never be

A broad as spry as old Granny

Her leg raises some folk protest

At least she's clothed and not undressed~

```

Ninty-seven with hair all gray

She could outrun me anyday

She doesn't mind if people stare

Those 'wedgies' though are hard to bare~

```

She loves to exercise and train

Her motto is, no pain no gain

Stretching for Granny is a breeze

It loosens up her bony knees~

    A great rhythm and rhyme reminiscent of "I think I shall never see a poem as lovely as a tree" A most fun read. Loved the imagery.
