I broke my hand

I broke my hand
My hand is broken
My wrist is swollen
That really happened

But I didn’t cry
Because I’m an old guy
I joked the whole way down
Nosey eyes all around town

And even when the doctor told me it’s a distal radius fracture and I'll need surgery
I joked about it
This whole thing is a joke
This writing is just a joke

Silly jokes to sail through a silly life
The next line was going to be “In a lot of pain and I just want to die”
Wait that sounds kind of emo
So here’s how I’m gonna end this thing

Silly jokes to calm me through a silly life
Me left hand is broken so now I’m all right
