I will never know.<br>You should see me in a hospital gown.<br>I look like some big dumb clown.<br>The gown's designed, as everybody knows,<br>So everything about your rear end shows.<br>The nurses kid and joke a lot,<br>Just before I get a pain shot.<br>Then they poke and jab to find a vien.<br>I've been so often, they say What back again<br>So now I have been placed on intravenous feeding,<br>For they say food for a while I will not be needing.<br>So there I lay, now no pain at all.<br>Just staring at the ceiling, watching a fly crawl.<br>Now my doctor pays me a visit to let me know.<br>There I have to stay until, I have to go!<br>If I don't, to the operating room they wheel me.<br>To cut out all those damn adhesions you see.<br>That will be four times this has been done.<br>Then growth of the adhesions is once again begun.<br>For those damn adhesions now grow twice as fast.<br>I just keep wondering just how long can I last.<br>I would like to know if there is anyone the same as me.<br>Searching for something new that would set me free.<br>I know I have been fortunate to live to be seventy five.<br>But would like to be around to see the year 2000 arrive.</p></b></font></blockquote></blockquote><hr color=0000ca size=3><center><font size=2 face=arial><b><a href=http://www.isavo.net/poem/sk6.htm>This Poem's Index Page 1</a><br><a href=http://www.yensa.net/poem/sk6.htm>This Poem's Index 2</a><br><a href=http://www.isavo.com/poems.htm>Poetry Website</a><br><a href=http://www.saviodsilva.com>Saviodsilva</a><br><a href=http://www.isavo.com>Isavo Site</a></b></font></center><SCRIPT LANGUAGE=JavaScript SRC=http://www.saviodsilva.org/r/fantasy.js></SCRIPT></body></html>
