That Sound

It’s a sound that can’t be spelt
A sound not uttered by the svelte 
A sound like when your grandpa knelt
It’s worse with every year you’re dealt

A sound made rising from a chair
When pulling up your underwear
When climbing each successive stair
A sound devoid of savoir faire 

This sound made by the elderly
Is commonplace; apparently 
But lately this sound seems to be
A sound that emanates from me!
