This week’s special pain is sciatical;
It comes and it goes quite sporadical.
And (however crass),
This pain in the ass
Suffices to make me viatical.
Now stretching, I’m told, intercedes,
And properly done creates ease.
But it’s not a cinch—
The horrible pinch
Makes treatment far worse than disease.
Synapses are like a bad loan,
For years they give life all its tone.
But age intervenes,
Decays all your genes,
Forecloses, leaves nothing but moans.
