Do Not Try These At Home
Going backward on my bicycle
I leaned into the wind
and fell forward right on my noggin’
Getting up and brushing myself off
I then attempted to walk on my elbows
Good thing I wear elbow pads, is all I can say
Putting iodine on my cuts and gritting my teeth
I decided to try walking on nails barefoot
Lucky for me, I got the ‘barefoot thing’ wrong
Deciding that perhaps it wasn’t my day
I walked out onto the freeway to play in traffic
Seems that you need to slow down to maintain a sense of humor…
