Fifty-nine years and what do I know?

Apart from grey hair and wrinkles in tow

I’ve developed a limp and I’ve aches in my knees

That defy medication; I’m begging please

Just amputate everything south of my waist

I don’t need it anyhow so do it with haste

Before I have time to consider the loss

Of hips, thighs, legs, and those vaginal parts

I’ll still have my arms, my mouth, and brain

To write, rant, and think as I go slowly insane.

I’ve done something to my right hip which in turn is affecting my ankle. I’m walking as if I’m 102. It’s no fun. So, I turned it into this little ditty hoping it would make me feel better. So far, it hasn’t helped even a little bit.
