Took a bus to the clinic

What will be my fate?

Then walked to the fancy place

Still twenty minutes to wait

Lots of Tanka Time.

Have a funny swollen knee

Pains and makes me limp.

So I’d like a new one please

Know there’s not much chance

Still it doesn’t hurt to see.

Twist it right and twist it left

Did that make it sore?

When I push it just like this

Does it hurt you more?

Think your cartilege is torn.

First a scan to check it out

If we think it fits

Key hole surgery is on

Take away the bits.

Then your pain should disappear.
