Poetry: "Pain Has a Purpose"

Poetry:  "Pain Has a Purpose"

     Pain has a purpose
    Some don't know why
    Touch a hot stove
    And you'll wince or you'll cry.

     Pain has a purpose
     When things get dire
     You don't stick around
     When your house is on fire.

     Pain has a purpose
     If you had a pet otter
     The thing would jump out
      Of boiling water
 
      If you couldn't feel pain
      You'd be constantly hurt
      And perhaps you'd be buried
      'Neath six feet of dirt... (tbc?)
