Back Door On the Fourth Floor of Nowhere
I opened the door and stepped out.....into nowhere!
looking both bright and cheerful, in my blue swimwear,
smell was fresh, sky was blue but I stepped on thin air,
Thirty feet of steep drop, I wish I was elsewhere!!
flag hoist fluttered below me, pointing at my rear,
panic stricken said “God! save me! I have no spare!“
gathering pace I went down, pray land on soft chair,
twenty seconds of fly time, best eagles wont dare!
tried to use my arms like wings, wish I had a pair,
ladies watching screamed, like I was a grizzly bear!
Three windows down, hoist caught me, cannot tell you where....
six weeks of groin pain, was out of medical care!
Back again on the fourth floor, my wife did not care!
Said she with nasty smile,”Next time please take the stair!!”
