CELIA'S POEMS

No 318     January 27     

Although it’s been a month now,

Geoff’s back’s no better yet,

He’s still visiting the osteopath,

No improvement does he get.

My back is really bad now,

24 / 7 I’m in pain,

We usually share the work load,

Right now it’s such a strain.

Geoff does all the vacuuming,

At the moment he’s been banned,

There’s neither of us able,

We find it hard to stand.

But me being so stupid,

I thought it must be done,

So Geoff carried the vacuum down the steps,

And I brushed everyone,

I managed the steps no problem,

Although we’ve nearly 40,

I realise now that I’m in pain,

I shouldn’t have been so naughty.

I just can’t use my right hand,

The pain is hard to bear,

As no-one comes inside the house,

Doing the steps, who’s going to care.

I really am in so much pain,

Can’t write a poem for you,

So I’m dictating them to Geoff,

I know he’ll pull us through.
