Recently, I had knees trouble
First the right one went and so did
CT scans, MRIs, and X-rays, plus
I had to ice my knee, heat pad
my knee and keep it raised.
Eventually, I healed enough to tell
the therapist good bye and thanks.
Three weeks later, BAM, goes
the left knee and the same
three-step routine took over my life.
My son bought me a Hurry-cane,
collapsible and with three
round rubber stoppers
on the bottom that added to my
stability and made me think of ‘
the old tongue twister, “Rubber
Baby Buggy Bumpers,”
Third was my lower back
giving in to all the futzing I was doing
with my uneven gait and walking
implements. I’ve about had it with the threes,
but then I remember––people always die
in threes, so I take good care of my friends
so they don’t die and make me
third on their match.
