Stanley Harris Poet Dramatic Verse

Do Not Mockthe Zimmer Frame

Do not mock the Zimmer frame

Do not mock the Zimmer frame and those crutches two.
As both of them are useful, they are, I’m telling you.

Had I a Zimmer frame, a few months ago.
My dead leg would not have let me down.
It really would not have you know.
Then have this blinking broken leg, I would not, you know.

Now my transport’s joined me, needs a new clutch, you see.
That will break the back of me, I mean that money-mentory. 

So if you have any to spare, please send some to me!
Better still, buy a book or two.
So words I wrote can entertain you.
Or better still, you could send them, to someone you don’t like.
Of course send them anonymously to those friends, that you do not like!

Otherwise to make them laugh, let them know who you are.
And later they might do the same to you.
As would know where my books are.
And that’s all here, I’ll say to you.
About my Zimmer frames and crutches two.

PS.  Now my wheelchair’s front left wheel wobbles at slow speeds of course.
