I Crack Up Every Time

I crack my back

       Every time I wake up

I crack my neck

       Every time I get off work

I crack my knuckles

       Every time I feel frustrated

 

But the one that really hurts me is when…

 

I crack my heart

       Every time I think of you being alone.

Well, Dale, there is quite a bit of "cracking" going on in this little verse, and I promise not to make any wise "cracks" about old age, cracking backs and stiff necks. I have absolutely no room to talk when it pertains to those things.

However, I did "crack" up briefly (yes, I know I promised, but I simply couldn't help myself!) in the beginning...and then came those last three lines, and I sensed true heartache in those words. This short, brief poem is a paradox of emotions.

Thank you so very much… yes a lot of cracking, maybe I should have the song I fall to pieces playing in the background, LOL

[PloughBoy]

Ha ha, yeah, there's a thought.

You are very welcome, Dale, it was my pleasure.:)

Might I say your cleverness cracks me up Dale? ;)

You have such a way of putting your sentiments into words my friend....sweet.

Thank you so much Moonbeam, glad it is my cleverness that cracks you up and not my looks.

Only when you wear your cheeky monkey suit. :)

LOL, heart o proctor, I like that.

[Lyn Anderson]

Simple, and a quiet way to express a heart felt emotion.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Than you very much… I find simple expressions the most sincere.

THat's very sweet and touching. I could make some smart crack about a chiropracter, but I won't.
