I Want You To Write A Poem Off-the-cuff Right Here Right Now

My Sling

By: soulrunher
Written on October 29th, 2012
You hang from my neck like a ton of bricks
You're bulky and awkward what a fix
Always need adjusting, collecting hair and crumbs
Restricting me to death, I just sit and twindle my thumbs
I would love to just throw you away, but if I did my arm would flay
So I will keep you on for now, and accept your itchiness
As long as you hold my arm and accept by bitchiness

      No doubt...
      Portrait of life's comfort
      My right arm trapped in a sling
      Frustration comes in.

      My youngest daughter made me feel even better...snickering at it. "At least a cast is cool, but a sling?!" Thanks, honey that helps a lot. LOL

    You made me smile... I know that being layed up with your injury is no fun...none at all! I appreciate your sense of humor in the midst of the misery. :-)
