Talking Back
For those who have never
had Back trouble
please do count your
blessings double
A chore just to get up
You like a string puppet
walk the best way you can
no help grabbing a cane
You get to feelin
some what better
you make a sudden move
once again Back out the groove
The Back whispers not quite
all there yet
Like the absent minded professor
again I forget
Grab hold of the reign
to pull myself up into
the truck
with buzzards luck
bingo Back out again
No whisper this time
Back tells me oh you
one of them hard head fellas
not listeninng what I tell ya
Got my attention
Damn sure aint talkin
back to the Back

back to back, talk. makes you grateful you can still walk. never want to think about lying in pain, till you are turned ...and set it off. nursing attendants think you are deranged for the language which you speak can only be felt and not explained.

Well that's a noble cause think that is what most want when they write. Writing down the list of things I like to do but I enjoy it during the cold months when I cant go like I want
