the knee joints
are giving me curry
of late they've not
allowed me to hurry
it's a good thing
that I'm not in a scurry
for if I was my knees
wouldn't flurry

this very day
my arthritic knees
have almost set
into a deep freeze
little movement
from them can I tease
they are stuck
like roots of trees

not being able
to ambulate
is irking me
no old end
how pleasant
it would be
to have knees
that can easily bend

I'm certainly not
going anywhere to-day
as my knee joints
wont let me get away

for me they'll be
no walking to the shop
as my knees have put me
at a bit of a stop
