Funny Bone Poem by Simon Gowen
Funny Bone
I need to ask a question
While I'm sitting here alone
Why on earth did someone name
The elbow, Funny Bone?
Ev'ry time I bang it
The last thing on my mind
Is laughing out in ecstasy,
And shouting something kind
Instead I want to lash out
And jump and scream and curse
The pain runs through my body
Only toothache could be worse.
So if you are a specialist
Please do your best to serve
A clumsy man who's sat in pain
I've banged my Ulnar nerve.
And it's the ulnar nerve striking the bone giving the not so funny sensation. Umerus from the Latin for upper arm. Ooooo this is turning into an educational.....lol
It's called the funny bone because it's medical name is the Humerus. But not very humorous when it's banged! ! !
Oh, what an honour, thank you very much Simon, I wish I was a specialist in stopping laughing at your poems. another very funny write. and of course a funny bone is anything but funny when you bash it.
