"Swelling"

When you can HEAR

Your feet SWELLING

Over the hum of the computer

You know you've been 

Writing too many

Haiku

Time to put

One's feet

Up

Don't laugh

I'm not a

Footballer

We Old 

South China Seas

Hands

Are entitled to

Wear a sarong

When the feeling takes us

These were my feet

When I was 

A younger man

Before oedema

And medications

Raised their ugly heads!

And these are the feet
Of an older man.
Still wearing the sarong though!
