Had Edward Lear wrote about the trials of painful knees, his whimsical and nonsensical style would bring a touch of humour and light-heartedness to a very serious subject. Let's muse on what he might have said:
There was an old man with two knees,
Who cried, "Oh, the pain, won't you please!
My joints are so creaky,
They're terribly squeaky,
I need some relief from this tease!"
He tried rubbing oil on his knees,
And wrapping them tight in warm fleece,
But nothing would do,
Till a doctor he knew,
Said, "Try this, and your pain will cease!"
Now he dances and skips with great ease,
Through gardens and fields with tall trees,
With a laugh and a cheer,
He shouts loud and clear,
"Hip-hip, hooray for my knees!"
Try this and make your pain cease
