... --my "UPPER body"-trainer
-- I awoke EARLY this morning ... with this STRONG "Alarm-Clock" ... in my BLADDER.
'ALARM-Clock'
by A.J. Kaynatma
(To be recited in the tune of ... Dr. Seuss's 'Green Eggs & Ham':)
"In lieu OF ... my early-RISE, I marveled-AT ... my painless-THIGHS.
When 'deep-in-THOUGHT', ... I shut my EYES,
To better-'SEE' ... my eventual-PRIZE.
While doing THIS, ... many-folks think I'm in-PAIN.
Contrary to popular-BELIEF, ... I AM quite-SANE.
Nooo, I'm NOT-pregnant. ... I just-have an 'internal-ahLARM'
... that's lately-been bringing more HELP than HARM.
Emotions are GONE, ... 'cuz of my 'alarm-CLOCK'.
Y'all caN'T 'see' my 'Highs' & 'LOWS'. ... So, I seem 'steady as a ROCK'.
Alas, I'm not-always grinnin'. ... I frequently just-SIGH.
I'm constantly-FRUSTRATED. ... DAMN this 'T.B.I.'!
Sooo, please doN'T ASSUME. ... 'How ya feelin'?' Just ASK.
'Tis an AWFUL-feelin', ... when I caN'T handle a needed-TASK!
Lately, I'm IMPROVIN'. ... I'm gonna TRY-to put-ON my SOCK.
... IF I'm UN-successful, ... then I'll--AGAIN--hit 'SNOOZE' on my 'alarm-CLOCK'."
-- So, in LIEU of my IN-ability to get-in MY-pool, I decided-to "EXPERIMENT" ... in my BATHTUB ... with MY-BROTHER.
(... Whoa, whoa, ... WHOA! Eeeasssy, SICKOS!)
My brother helped my Caregiver put me INTO my tub, ... with my clothes-ON, ... so I had water-RESISTANCE, ... as I REPEATEDLY-kicked each LEG under the water.
... THAT was TIRING!
(... I KNOW my FLUID-MECHANICS!)
(... At one point, I even SURPRISED my Caregiver with my REMARKABLE LEG-strength & "Take-CHARGE"-Initiative.
NOICE!)
