TRADE IN
TRADE IN
I hate all this business
Of trying to do
What I want to do
And hampered by a
Creaky old body.
It ****** me off
When something hurts
And gets in the way
Of doing the things
I had carefully planned.
I want to complain
And go pound on God’s desk
And ask him for a refund
Or at the very least
Refurbishment.
I haven’t got time
To fall down in pain,
I’ve got hills to climb
And rivers to swim.
I can’t do that if I am crippled.
So dig out the warranty
Read the fine print
See how to get
Some replacements
So I can continue
To conquer this world
As the force of nature
That my Mama loosed
On creation that
New Year’s day
Eighty-three long years ago.
