Elbow

I fell, ma. I was
carryin’ your wheelchair

and I slipped
and I fell

and I busted my arm.
My right arm. My pointer

and my clicker, ma. My
right arm, that’s my pointer

and my clicker. Who,
who, who’s gonna want a man

cain’t point and click, ma?
C-c-c-c-caint point

and click. Well, he ain’t a man
at all anymore, ma.
