Its Just a Band-Aid

It’s Just A Band-Aid By Joeysguy When I was small my mother had some tricks She would say the band-aid was a quick fix Using a band-aid to cover a scrape or cut Keeping out the dirt and any smut Some places I have trouble putting a band-aid on It’s only me, my wife is gone Recently a wasp had stung me Confused, I looked to my wife to help me I then remembered she is not here Not sure of what to do gave me a little scare I can put a band-aid on anywhere in front of me I can’t put it on my back a place I can’t see My wife wanted a band-aid on my mouth Even my daughters say I have a bigmouth I wish my mom taught me her tricks I would swallow a band-aid, my heart needs a fix
