OUCH - The Song

I woke up early this morning and slept horribly last night. For some reason when Rich leaves for work Eva likes to wake me up and bring me down on the couch so she can sleep by me. I/we will not allow her in the bed mostly because sleep is precious to me, so she sleeps next to me on the floor in her big furry fluffy bed. We both feel back asleep when I made my way down the steps sideways as I always do. We finally woke up at nine something this morning. I laid there as I usually do for ten minutes or so and my mind began to wonder. Guess what popped into it as I lay there? You should write a song about getting moving in the morning. Of course my mind began to work thinking of lyrics and I started to make myself laugh, out loud at that. When I finally got up I grabbed a pen and here is what I wrote in a matter of minutes as I waited for my morning cup to brew.

Ouch

I started the day with a dog on my head,
a crunch and a crack and a lot of pain.
I cried out loud as my feet hit the floor,
but really just wanted to lay back down and snore.

Chorus:
Ouch, ouch it's swollen and stiff,
do I really have to do this?
Get your mind out of the gutter
those words that I utter are really
just my chronic illness speaking.

Hands won't close, muscles won't move,
Dropped my glasses three times on the floor.
All I can think is this is not fair,
but does anyone really care?

Chorus:
Ouch, ouch it's swollen and stiff,
do I really have to do this?
Get your mind out of the gutter
those words that I utter are really
just my chronic illness speaking.

It's nine forty one I'm at the kitchen sink,
Pen in hand smell of coffee in the air,
but really right now...I just don't care.
Waking up takes longer than you might think,
Pills in hand, whoops there they go,
as one just rolled right down the sink.

Chorus:
Ouch, ouch it's swollen and stiff,
do I really have to do this?
Get your mind out of the gutter
those words that I utter are really
just my chronic illness speaking.

I crawled up the steps coffee in hand,
started the computer to say hi to my friends.
who give me strength and keep me going,
Spanish, white, black or gay.
It's the end of my song,
I hope it didn't take to long,
and I hope you have a great day!

Remember to keep on laughing it will cure anything that ails ya and don't worry I won't be writing songs for anyone but myself in the future. Lol

God Bless!
