RESTLESS LEGS
By David Allen
The warning that came
With my new prescription
Said a possible side effect
Was Restless Leg Syndrome.
I scratched my head and thought,
“Side effect? What’s the big deal?
Hell, I’ve had restless legs all my life.”
I was never much of a stay-at-home,
At last count, I’ve moved 43 times
In the last seven decades.
I hitchhiked and drove through
Most of the U.S. states
And lived in four of them’
And the District of Columbia.
I also lived and worked in Guam
And Okinawa, Japan,
And cruised around Germany, Korea,
Thailand, and numerous
South Pacific and Caribbean Islands.
So, yeah, my legs are restless
And I am excited to see
Where they’ll take me
Once this new medicine works.
