Shattered Limb
broken tree limbs
lie shattered on the ground
no longer useful
the one-armed veteran
looks on with understanding
With a pull of the arm
the eyes started to roll
Sweat poured from the pits
as if nothing at all.
Tears smudged the rims
from the pull, roll, and ring
When the fruit salad face
Showed a lop-sided grin.
My one-armed life which i everyday juggle
All the moments of weakness and parenthood struggles.
Although you are selfish and never are home
Besides a few tears and sometimes feeling alone
Your absence changed nothing, Im sill holding my own
Drawing from the shadow of La Manquita
The mighty Spanish master from Málaga
Painted his m'lady borderline grotesque
Features so far flung and un fathomably stretched
She had an eye in Segovia and a nose in Madrid

There was a local lad named one-armed Joe
Who was an alligator wrestling pro
He misjudged the 'gator's snap
Resulting in this mishap
He dined on 'gator tail as quid pro quo

“Why raise this much crude alarm
Over the schemed little harm
To just chop off your left arm
Leaving your right for your farm…
Left arm coming to gross harm
Does not betray yields from farm,
Save for one with eyes on alms,
Since planning to dump farm’s palms...
Your right arm can yams harvest,
Just as it can put on vest.
No true lover would you jest
Or with tongue your patience test
For being now a one-armed man
She should leave for older stan!”
