I'm A One-Trips Pony

(Got no other tricks)

Another trip over shadows

One more hard crash onto the bricks

I hurt my hands, my hips, my knees

Got some bruises and two deep nicks

Another trip over shadows

This pony knows no other tricks

Lately it seems age has most of my body hurting...I feel like a one-trip pony....
too old to be saddled, yet too spry not to kick a little of rubbed the wrong way.
Just don't pull my mane.

dear Jacob... when you Age... you believe you can fly... and then you spend the Summer with two "Black eyes'. gently, Pat

Thanks. Lately I am also aching all the time, but my body certainly can't handle many more hard crashes. ~Jim
