I thought I was 12
Just a kid on his new bike
Out for a good time
I can ride the curb!
Balance it all the way down
Wheee what fun it was
I'd done it before
Thought, Hey, I'll do it again!
Down so fast I bounced
But I'm not 12 now
I no longer bounce, I break
Break real good I did
Tough it out I thought,
It'll get better real soon
Not in ten months, nope
Bone grinding on bone
Rasping, snapping, tendons click
Pissed off bursa, Ouch!
Only one fix now,
Cutting, rasping, deep inside
Skilled surgeon, quick work
Narcotics will fade
Incisions will heal over
Muscles regain strength
I'll have fun again
Yes, soon I'll have fun again
But I won't forget
I'm 12 never more!
Old man out on his new bike
Out for a good time
Nice baiku!
