I helped my uncle move today,
Now I hurt in every way.
It started out so very bad,
I thought I was such a strong, strong lad.
About two minutes in I heard a crack,
So there it goes, my lower back.
Why oh why did I lift so wrong,
I’m ready for that fat lady to sing her song.
I pick myself up off the ground,
As I hear that familiar sound.
My uncle says, wimp walk it off,
I’m going to play a round of golf.
So there he goes, off he went,
And I get up with back now bent.
I continue on by myself, not us, not we, nope just me,
Then I heard it…. There goes my knee.
The day went like this, so full of pain,
And then, of course, I got caught in the rain.
Box in hand, what could I do,
So I sat there for a minute just to brew.
The day ended not too soon,
My clothes soaked through, my skin, like a prune.
So I decided to help my uncle today,
And what for my kindness………. Well, I will be bedridden for the rest of May.
