I often wonder why it is br That I should feel this way br Pain rushing through my body br In that so familiar way br br I tried to get up from my bed br With rails to help me rise br Tripping as I tried to walk br This led to my demise br br I stumbled on the carpet edge br Went down with such a thump br The corner of the dresser br Left my head with quite a lump br br Shocked and dazed I crawled around br I even tried to stand br But arms and legs don’t always do br What brain could once demand? br br My wife came rushing to my aid br You should have called she said br She helped me to my feet once more br Then straight back into bed br br br © 2008 David Threadgold br Rambling Riddles & Rhymesbr br David Threadgold www.davidthreadgold.
