Pain

I fought and they got me I’m dying me friend Doctors have warned me Now I fear this is the end It seems so easy I do declare But if you ever encounter one Leave it alone, beware There I was standing alone On my own you see Surronded by many And just poor old me My wife was in doors She hid in the house As she watched me fight Like a terrified mouse Her face express terror It was all screwed up She looked like one of those dogs Oh yes, a shar pei pup All I wanted, was to do the garden May be plant some seeds But then again, you know me I had to tackle those weeds Now I lay here hearing the sweet words of my wife “this pain you are feeling is just, and you deserve" "Now lay there and suffer With the pain of a trapped nerve'" Now I reflect on her expression Through the pain, it took me a while It wasn’t feeling my pain She had a Cheshire cat smile.
