Chicago Trip - The Aftermath

We’re back from Chicago

And more or less whole

Though I am a bit battered and bruised

My lumbar is sore

And my right shin is, too

All that driving left me quite abused

Not to mention my nerves

They’re as frayed as old thread

After driving through rush hour’s peak

With the bicycles constantly

Darting around

I think that I’ll sleep for a week

Plus walking all day

Left my feet feeling sore

I’ve been hobbling ‘round like a fool

And this morning while swimming

Both hands and one wrist

Were scraped red and raw by the pool

But luckily one part

Is not yet worn out

It’s a thing I work hard to maintain

It’s simply a skill

My ability to

Continually gripe and complain!
