5/11 Poem of the Month

                                     First Aid

It is getting increasingly difficult,

Difficult to practice my trade…

The knees, the back, the blood pressure,

I worry more these days about injury,

I have replaced my truck’s first aid kit,

I now carry with me a paramedic…

I figure it will save precious time when the inevitable crisis hits.

He seems nice enough; he bores easily…

I am glad he rides with me; someday I may teach him to hold a wrench.

I have finally finished my addition to the house,

It took much too long…

It was going to be my den; but not now…

You see, I’ve invited my psychiatrist to move in…
