A humerous look at arthritic knees which can be a problem especially when they both hurt at the same time.
Have you ever wondered why it is
That bad knees come in pairs?
What’s wrong with having one knackered knee
So you can still climb up the stairs?

It’s becoming such a struggle
And a time consuming chore,
To get from the bottom to the top
When it never was before.
I once had a painful shoulder
That kept me awake at night.
Soon after the other one started to ache
And my future didn’t look too bright.

There followed a tennis elbow,
Though I never play the game these days,
So I had it fixed then the other one
Began to go through a painful phase.

My two big toes and both thumbs
Were getting really sore to bend
So I had one toe and one thumb fixed
In the hope that the others would mend
Most of the time the second ones
Eventually healed up on their own,
But I am feeling the strain of my knackered knees
And they just make me moan and groan.
Well….Not all of the time…. Ha Ha!
