Elbows

I would be SO HAPPY
     if I could just have ONE DAY . . . . . . . . . . .

when my elbows would not get in the way.

They are constantly BANGING into things -

     the soap holder in the shower, the frame of a doorway. . . . . . .

the WALL!

. . . . . . . leaving me with bruises, and shouting all kinds of expletives.

( Damn!  Shit!  F#^*  !!! )

 

I'm a bit attached to my elbows and,
     even though they ARE funny looking -

pointy, and knobby, and wrinkly,

I would not wish them away.

I DO recognize their value.

My arms would not bend as well, without them.  


I just wish they wouldn't get in the way!
