A Painful Day

Today I labored in excruciating pain
The discomfort did not wane

I felt my sanity slip away
My mind did decay

My poor bum
Made me squirm

I cried bitter tears
The hours felt like years

Then my dear sister Vi came to my aid
Preparation-H ointment made the pain fade

I was happy as a lark
So overjoyed I could bark

Now I’ll sleep like a baby
Vi is indeed saintly
