I wrote this after I had lost some weight. I thought I had some sort of health issue when I saw something protruding around the mid leg area. I then realised they were my knee caps and I just hadn’t seen them in a really long time.
Oh knee caps I have not seen thee,
since circa 1993.
Your bony ridges atop cartilage waves,
I thought were myths like sirens, mermaids.
Now you emerge from deep within
your long time abode of chub and skin.
And proudly sit so bold and high
halfway between my shin and thigh.
So pity men who anger me,
for you will soon and surely see,
that there are no ands, ifs or buts,
my new found friend will crush their nuts.
Oh knee caps I have not seen thee,
since circa 1993.
