Edward Ibeh Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

It Was a Good Morning Until

It was a good morning until...OUCH!
        Oh snap! Sharp pain I suddenly felt
        in lower back sitting up from couch;
                 a temporary blow dealt....

         and this ain't the first time either!
    Back pain creeps up every now and then,
      though pain-killers give me a breather.
        I'm not alone, it nags so many men!

      It never stops me, though. Life goes on!
     Morning was rough, but hunky-dory now.
     Hallelujah! My vexing pain is all but gone. 
Thank God for Percocets! Two words: cat's meow.
