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
