This is the story of how a plain jane cane became a grand dame.

This past winter, I donned some skis.

I took a bad spill and broke my knee.

A few months later, I tried to walk.

Much to my chagrin, I did not rock.

“A cane is needed!” proclaimed my doc.

To CVS I go, to peruse their stock.

Most of what I found was quite ho-hum.

The selection they had was neither sparkly nor fun.

There were a few times I had to return to the store.

3 hours later, with a great sense of pride,

The sparkle of this cane could not be denied!

The moral of the story, just happens to be

When life hands you lemons, make lemonade with glee!
