This Body Of Mine…!


Oh dear me I'm off again,
This poor old body of mine,
Every time I think that's it…
I get another problem all the time!

I was gona leave it to science,
But I'm afraid that can not be,
Cos everything is knackered,
I'm falling apart you see.

They don't want me blood cos its rubbish!
Can't leave me liver cos it's wrecked,
They don't even want me heart,
Cos that no good, I had that checked!

Me heads just as bladdered too,
Cos it's got a ruddy big hole in the skull,
But saying that, I saw the scan,
And me brains ok, cos it's full…!!!

I'm not saying it's full of information,
Cos I must admit I'm pretty dim,
So all in all, I have to say…
I really just can't flippin' win!

Me bones are really kaput,
Cos they are falling apart,
I should be dead I think…
Cos I didn't really have a good start!

Me knees are really knackered too,
And as for this spine of mine,
It's falling apart and breaking my heart,
And I'm not feeling fine!

I had a couple of tumours,
Upon this brain of mine,
But they took them away, now I'm ok,
And I'm feeling really fine!

Did I mention the diabetes?
Or the epilepsy that I bear!
Did I even tell you of me special contraption,
Me fantastic electric chair!!!

Now they tell me my eyes are knackered too,
Cataracts don't you know,
But I won't be thwarted I'll get it sorted,
These lenses will have to go!

Brand new lenses they tell me,
Wow but they are a clever lot,
Cos there they are helping me get fixed,
When really I should be shot!

But I won't give up my poetry!
So they will have to sort me eyes out!
Or else I'm complain, I'll go insane,
That's for certain, without a doubt!

I could go on, but I have to say…
This is all good for me…cos you see,
It gives me the insight that I need,
To impart these helpful words from me!

For it's better to walk the walk I think,
So that all the complaints that I write…
Give some hope, maybe help someone cope,
Knowing they're not on their own in their plight!

Me constitutions strong you know,
And I will never, not ever give in,
Cos at the end of the day, I'm a stubborn cow,
And I will always, always win!!!

What a specimen I am though!
Wow!  The tests and exams they've taken from me,
Helps them come to realize…
They're people out there worse off you see!

So on that note I have to say,
It's all kaput and not really fine!
I don't think leave it to science after all…
Cos it's a ruddy mess 'this body of mine!'

Takes All Sorts To Make A World Go Round!
