Google Has Replaced My Doctor Now
Google has replaced my doctor now.
I try to get up and my back screams YOW!
I have to think about it, every move is an ouch.
I want to climb back into my mother’s safe pouch.
But she is safely tucked away in heaven now.
And I am stuck in this world where an ow is an OW.
My back is shrieking with every flicker and move.
I am no longer able to dance, shake it or groove.
Googling back pain for my age is sobering I’ll say.
No matter what, there may be pain every day.
Because I need to stretch, which I no longer do.
I guess I’ll start tomorrow, wouldn’t you?
