44 Year Old Wake Up

Woke up this morning, with some more new pains Getting old really sucks; I hurt when it rains. You won’t hear me say, “Wow, THAT pain is gone! ” But always just, “Hey, why does THAT now hurt? ” I go off to bed hugging the heating pad, Then hobble up the stairs and fall into bed, Can’t lay on my side, can’t lay on my back, Can’t get straight up right out of the sack. Not eight straight hours in over ten years, What with having to pee and pain in my head And no rest in my dreams, always bending down, Always running and jumping and smelling the flowers.
