Leg Cramps ***

Used to be some sweaty stuff
when waking up besotted
now sleep is interrupted
by calf muscles be knotted.

Screams of pleasure once upon
becoming something else 
Henry Eight back from the grave
ghost searching for new pelts.

It's well to wake up quickly
stretch out just in time
before the calving happens
and tips the old bovine.

Don't need the ghostly visitors
just watch them on tv
threatening to level
swaths of earth this spring. 

But we could barter Henry! 
one of you for him
I'll watch decrepit anytime 
just go please hit the gym.

Someday there is heaven
but first the ancient door
guarded by a castle
cattle, calves and more. 

Awful torture dungeons
ropes for stretching out
ingenious inventions
and then there is myself!  

Well back to bed let's try again
no more British dramas 
or steaks as well whatever! 
Bells!

An app perchance?
Hot shower?
