this morning I awoke with a stiff shoulder
which was in need of a light grease
in vain I tried to rotate my arm
a full three hundred and sixty degrees

when I got it in alignment
with my side there it did seize
and now my shoulder
is in a permanent kind of freeze

it really is such a terrible
state of affairs
when one's shoulder
won't show its usual wares

all day long I've sat nursing
my rigid rota cuff
and it could be said
that I'm less than chuffed
