Little known, seldom played: a song about gout.

[EYESORE 9001]

2. I had an uncle with a bad case of gout

I’ll always remember him sitting in an overstuffed chair at my grandmother’s parlor during family gatherings. His gouty foot was always propped up on the matching ottoman, thankfully covered with a white sock. When any of us kids came in the room, he automatically shouted, ‘WATCH OUT FOR MY FOOT!’ He used his cane defensively if anyone had the temerity to come within striking distance.
