Mamob's Journal

THE FALL IN THE MIDDLE OF THENIGHT

As I scurried through the house

 In the night quite as a mouse

All the sudden I went boom

Crashing to the floor of the living room

One leg that way one leg this

 An elbow crunching and the twist of my wrist

Right knee bruised and now in pain

My left ankle now has a sprain

My back is hurting and bladder is squirting

I was sprawled there out on the floor

Getting up was going to be such a chore

Can I walk? I do not know

If I can it will be slow

Ouch this hurts I need a pill for pain

I hope I never do this again

Serves me right I should have stayed in bed

Searching for a snack in the night can bring one dread.

Why couldn't I have waited for morning to come?

The Olympic gold for gymnastics I have not won

I am an old lady not agile as one can see

Olympic floor exercise it not for me.

The only thing I can do real well is the split

And to tell the truth it hurt like sh---t

Where is the Advil, Where is the Alive

Maybe some ice packs is what I really need

Where is that ace bandage where is the sling

I need some plaster and tape and a service bell to ring

I need the back brace but it is way over there

To heck with it, I’ll use this dang wheel chair

 Don’t send a get well card or a get well call

My mail box is way out by the street

And the phone is clear over there on the dang wall

I’ll be ok in just 100 days

 But by then I’ll be thin or completely wasted away.

If you don’t hear from me for a week or more

You can just figure I can’t get up cause I’m still sprawled out on the dang floor
