Oh Bones Of Mine...At 3AM...


Oh these bones, these bones of mine,
They ache and pain all the flippin' time!
I've got the creepy crawly arthritis all over,
Me life is not a bed of clover!
I take me meds and go to bed
And I try to rest me weary head!
But me bones are sore, won't give me peace,
So I take more meds to give me release

But the meds don't work and am cryin' now,
I need to be pain free but don't know how!
So I toss and turn in agonising pain,
Oh cor blimey, am goin' insane!
I went to the doctor and told of my plight,
And said; 'Dear Doctor, I can't sleep at night!
Me meds don't work, I'm just a mess,
But to look at me, you'd never guess!'

She told me straight, and broke me heart,
Said; 'Catherine dear, I don't know where to start!'
I asked her what it was she meant,
And she informed me that me bones are bent!
Well golly gee, and whoopy wow!
If I didn't know that then, I sure do now!
I'm bent sideways, oh dear me,
What a ruddy sight to see!

If anyone wants to know my height,
I ponder and wonder about my plight!
Cos if I stand on me left leg I'm 5 foot 3...
If I stand on me right leg, oh glory be!
I walk hip hop all the day long,
Wibble, wobble Catherine, is that a song?
If I wana boogie, am half way there,
Cos I can touch the floor sittin' in me chair!

I also do a mean, lean wheelchair rock!
But I wear me trousers, can't wear a frock!
And when everyone struggles to do the jive,
That's when me and me chair come alive!
Cos am almost on the floor you see!
So I rock and bob and jive -oh typical me!!
But though me bones are a hell of a mess,
To look at me, you'd never guess.

Cos I don't show my pain to anyone,
To be quite honest, I don't spoil the fun!
So when I need to sob and cry
I do it alone, and I'll tell you why!
It's cos I won't let others see me and worry,
Cos they sure the hell get in a flurry!
What they don't know won't upset them,
Cos they would be the same when it's bad again!

So I take my meds to knock me out,
Stay in bed till me pains worn out!
Then there I'll be, with me smile in place,
And show the world a beaming face!
So there's no worry and no-one knows,
And I wear me mask till me pain goes
Goes back to the way it is each day
But as long as I keep the worst at bay!

Then I'll continue to cope, as only I can do,
And the strength inside me will pull me through!

...As It Does Each Day...

***BUT***

...One-Day-At-A-Time...
