62 Year Old's Lament

I have a little gremlin that moves about in me.
Last week he was in my back today heâ€™s in my knee.
Just when Iâ€™m wishing he would go,
He moves into my big, left toe
And often while Iâ€™m snug in bed
Heâ€™ll travel up towards to my head.
Why does this gremlin want to keep
Me from getting one good sleep.
Some days he causes so much pain
I think I may just go insane.

Does your gremlin carry tools? Once in a great while mine seems to have a sharp poking stick and a tire iron. Yelling helps

That gremlin's nuthin but a schmoe
To think he hurts your knee or toe,
Just tell him boldly "What the heck,"
He's just a plain pain in the neck.
Who's in charge here, him or you?
Why, he doesn't even have a clue
To how above it all you are, my lass,
He's no more than a pain in the a s s.

It's consoling to know I belong to the club that has to have it's alcohol rub

If he would just let me have the full use of my right thumb, I would be ok.

Yes, we all gits our aches and pains as time wears on. But live each day to the fullest.
