Bone Bad
I’m good down to bone, then I go bad.
They replaced my left shoulder bone;
I named it The Load.
They replaced my right hip bone;
I called it Cat.
Now I let hip Cat shoulder The Load.
Broke my kneecap and it didn’t heal;
I dubbed it Sir Kneel-less.
My neckbone’s degrading;
they’re going to insert two Frankenstein bolts.
Bad in the bone, and getting worse.
