“Knee Grow,” by Uppity

By a black man who likes to laugh.

By Earl W. PearlPublished 2 years ago • 1 min read

I played lots of football, a ligament tore

An Afro-American with knee pain galore

A white doctor said, “I’ve a product for you”

But I don’t let white folks tell me what to do

He said it’s a product for people like me

They call it “Knee Grow,” by the firm, Uppity

I asked, “Will it do all the things that you say”

He said, “Yes it will, you just have to obey”
