Glory Be

Yippee! Nothing hurts!
  There's no pain anywhere
Not in my feet, not in my knees
  I'm so happy, brimming with glee!

Standing up ramrod straight
  I don't resemble an early primate
Squatting almost down to the ground
  Perched on my head, a golden crown

Nothing hurts! Yippee!
  I feel alive again, you see
And the best part, glory be -- 
  It doesn't hurt at all when I pee...

           **********

Thanking God for small favors
  Gratefully, I approach the laver

Not to worry, my dear Jan. Pee can't hold a candle to poop! (Although if it did, I wouldn't want to be the one holding the candle!). LOL. Long live the queen!! … I'll sign off now, before I put both feet in my mouth. Thanks for your support, Jan! :) gw

I was sailing away with the reading of this when I got to the end I thought I was reading Jan's poem or Nina's poem so I went back. Yes, it was from you. Wow! When you decide to open your horizons you really open them. Nice one.
