My back's not as bad as it was back before my back went
it seems to have come back.

Pain's never bearable, but the back pain's quite bearable and I'm bearing up very well,
thanks for enquiring, for wiring me your messages of goodwill.

On the clapometer, the thermometer registers red and so I'm still in my bed, but my back's feeling good
if I could
I'd give it a round of applause,
but any sudden movement and my back
might go where it went before.


Backs are
funny things really,
ideally
they should last a lifetime,
sometimes they don't,
I can't complain and no
need to explain why mine won't.
