    Default Crutch (CTG)

    Crutch

    1.

    Oh, crutch, you make me pay. How much
    I lean on you! Perhaps next time, we'll go Dutch?

    Oh, bishop's crozier, shepherd's crook,
    how fashionable you make me look!

    Oh, divining rod! To help my broken leg -- my gift from God!
    Crutch, I use you to part crowds. Please don't think it odd.

    I pronounce my injury: ma blessure!
    Announce it to everyone as if it's a blessing.

    I whisper, "Fractured distal fibula -- left peg."
    Folk, take pity on me and my throbbing leg.

    But, unhappy, put-upon world, how you too ache!
    I offer these impoverished thoughts for mankind's sake.



    Accept these words. I've nothing else to give. You see,
    I am but a poor wordsmith. And they do come free!

    I was almost afraid to look at this , for fear of what crutch you might be writing about !!!

    Hope the pain eases soon though Chris ..
