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!!” 1st placement Written 06/September/2020 William Kekaula sponsored Your best Monorhyme poetry contest

A man's worse nightmare, indeed! The clever wit of your monorhyming pen left me laughing, Krish. Congratulations for your excellent win in William's contest. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

Wholeheartedly, I followed the story you had simply outlined, yet your ending line had me in hysterics. Blessings, Krish, for sharing your engaging-in-a-twist talents, Aloha!
