Oh where oh where have my hip joints gone, <br />Oh where oh where can they be? <br />I asked the surgeon to save me one <br />And give it back to me! <br /> <br />I once was joined to my lover man <br />Like Siamese twins at the hip, <br />But now he’s found him another fan <br />A brand new microchip! <br /> <br />The surgeon carved with his shiny knife <br />And hid the hip in a jar, <br />All pickled for its shelf half-life <br />While I am left with the scar! <br /> <br />So we’re apart but I’m really rich, <br />It’s more than minimum: <br />The knife went deep but with one big stitch <br />I’m now titanium! <br /> <br />So hail to hips all shiny new <br />And joints all oiled and bright! <br />They bend just like yer old bones do <br />So thanks folks, I’m all right! <br /> <br />To Gershon, thanks for your poem just now: Lost Only Once...! <br />10.30.05<br /><br />Linda Hepner<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/found-again-jewels/
