My Fat Ankles

My ankles have increased substantially today
They are all fat and puffy and don’t yell “hooray!”
Thought they were diabolical at the end of May.
They look full of water, what else can I say?

At least they are pink, have not yet turned to gray.
Please come over today Aunt Petey and Cousin Tray.
If I am not home, I have not walked very far away. 
My ankles have increased substantially today.

Hello Caren, What a fun Monorhyme. 'At least they are pink, have not yet turned to gray.' I love a poem with a smart turn of a phrase. -Richard
