This Old Man

// Tom Whalen

When the old man awoke today, his bones weren’t where they were supposed to be.
You know the song: The wrist bone’s connected to the etc. Well, the wrist bone wasn’t connected
to the etc., instead it was connected to the foot bone, and the foot bone was connected to the knee
bone, and the knee bone was connected to the neck bone, and the neck bone was connected to a finger
bone, but the finger bone wasn’t connected to the head bone, which was connected to nothing at all,
not even itself.
