Spoils
I happened to break me kneeThe day I lost the spelling bee
Began "gaucherie, g-a-u-c-"
When my legs switched up
And the femur broke free
It was doctor Don Reed
Who performed the deed
Put the patella back together
With the tibia
After which he got on with curing
Someone's clap or chlamydia
At home I was forced to hobble
From the couch to the fridge
For the Aunt Jemima bottle.
When I tired of pancakes
There were always Eggo waffles,
When sick of Ted Koppel
There was always Bubble Bobble.
Through no fault of my own
The leg healed all wrong
Don Reed left it like that
I'll see you in court
You fucking quack
G-A-U-C-H-E-R-I-E
"An awkward or tactless act"
I deserve that trophy
Give me my legs back
