MY KNEE

A friend said to me one day
Write a poem about your knee.
I think he was correct in that
I can no longer climb a tree.

I learned about a doctor who
Did miracles with a knee.
There was a little problem though
His service was not free.

I thought about it for a while
Then decided what the heck.
If I don't do it now you know
The pain will be up my neck.

The surgery was done at once
On this thirteenth day of March.
Now my walk no longer looks
Like the famous St. Louis arch.
