Claire Galpin - Aches and Pains

I’ve a pain; I’ve had it for weeks, I’ve a belly that gives out leaks, I’m all mixed up, I can’t get on Everything I do seems to be wrong. I’m as light as a feather, I’ve a balloon that’s a belly, My insides must be full of air, My skin must be old with wear. I can’t seem to save any bread, I know it’ll be murder if I wed, If I do wed, well be broke all the time, Everyone will give out a wine. I’ve a sore throat, it could be tonsillitis, Although its nothing really like it, I keep getting terrible toothache, I won’t go to the dentist, I’ll wait. All these aches and pains, Are getting me down again, I’m always moaning to myself, To others I’m always quite well.Claire Galpinhttp://www.poemhunter.com/poem/aches-and-pains/
