The Worse Pain Balls Or Birth

I’m led on the floor 
and it is a bore
I look at the dust
I look at the door

flimmin’ sciatica 
soars again 
never felt crappier
hoarding pain

Try giving birth
women are thinking,
I can’t do that,
what are you drinking?

stupid comparison 
can’t be compared,
I've no lady parts
I’m somewhat impaired, 

You're designed to give birth,
it’s actually natural,
so I say it’s worse 
getting hit in the sacktual.

The body doesn't protect the balls,
the only vital organs not indoors,
no adjusting in our body, we don't learn or prepare, 
breathing control, contractions, or you're almost there,
no experts to care, midwife just there, we don't even swear....
just get hit in the bollocks from out of no where!

There's no wonderous magnificent little life that rewards,
we don't see doctors or ambulance it to hospital wards,
no luxury, that "blame put on us",
and no one gifts or "Congratulates us",
at least women have an upside, something good,
we just worry if it's deadwood.

a bulging disc and sciatica, that wakes you up in the middle of the night in pain as though movement is needed to relieve the pain and finding every movement makes it ten times worse and then enduring disability led on the floor for 3 or 4 days (in pain) will never be equalled in my life lol but i'll look out for kidney stones lol,it sounds like a hoot lol thanks for the compliment Kev
