Ha! This is terrible. :)
Probably, but classic Hammes, nevertheless.

Metamorphoses
I wake to ache, and take my aching slow;
The ankle screams before I have deployed it.
I go by crawling where I have to go.
Where is my foot? I find it with my toe
It really wishes that I had destroyed it.
I wake to ache, and take my aching slow.
Halfway to pee, a cockroach hails, "Hey, Bro',"
I can't say why. Perhaps I have annoyed it;
I go by crawling where I have to go.
There is no time to shout, "Geronimo,"
It's /time/ to pee. I build it up, I void it,
I wake to ache, and take my aching slow.
I think they found this ankle at Lascaux
And sewed it in. The kitchen chair. Avoid it;
I go by crawling where I have to go.
It's time to trade me in. For two cents. OBO.
I write a poem, pretending I enjoyed it.
I wake to ache, and take my aching slow.
I go by crawling where I have to go.
