TETHERED TO A HEATING PAD

So, Here I Sit

<< // >> << // >>

So, now here I sit.

Not happy, nor sad.

I’m tethered, you see

To a Heating pad!

*

The pain is intense.

No longer an ache.

Tried all the “pain pads

The companies make.

*

The pain meds don’t work.

I’ve taken my share.

So, here I sit tethered

With heat to a chair.

*

The heat isn’t working;

It’s just making me hot.

I’m sweating profusely –

More than a lot!!

*

I’ll go to the couch,

And put up my feet.

Maybe the pain med

Will put me to asleep.

*

Just an hour or two

Might do the trick.

Just might get rid of

This backache crick!
