So many seasons to play
Seemed different sports would fill the seasons
Each requiring alleged stretching and lifting suggestions
Suggestions which youth might well laugh off
But in the fall of life creeping towards winter
Muscles seem to take longer to stretch
Aches less likely to fade
But the most painful experience is illusion
That one might stop cutting the grass mid November
Then one day pull the chain to mow again in April
Mmmm yes extremely painful
An hour later one struggles to open the garage again
Pushing the disabling equipment away
For whatever reason
No connection made between pain and lawn cutting
The next morning through, over a long cup of coffee
Time permits the memory to peel back
The idiocy of an individual
Who blissfully ended the lawn cutting season mid November
And without thought again pulled the chain In April
Aspirin anyone?
