When unable to eat know hunger burns
And when we touch the serpent's tail the hiss,
It warns us that in pain the body learns.
I click my back and paralyse myself,
I did this once when visiting old friends
And just today while putting up a shelf,
I've got a back that inner turmoil ends.
We warn ourselves to slow down just a bit,
We often bite off more than we can chew,
And then we have to work a while with it
Until at long, long last we make it through.
But bodies warn us, with a little pain,
And say "Slow down, or else be damned again."
