When we do hit our funny bone pain shoots up our arm something horrible. Thank you for sharing this contest entry with us. I enjoyed reading and wish you luck with the contest.

Hi John,
I am assuming the title is a metaphor for what age does to the body.
I like the personification of the funny bone laughing while you are in pain
It seems like something it would do.
Good luck in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Have a good rest of the day.
Joan

Thank you Joan I am pleased that you enjoyed this pile of bones.

Yes, that dirty 'old' word aging that eventually grows around our body like a suffocating vine. Lol

I had a laugh, too. Good concept for this poem! As an intractable pain patient myself, if I don't laugh everyday, I'd have to sit in a corner and cry all day. Despite my own situation, I believe your poem is witty, catchy, and just the "thing" for this assignment!
