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…

This makes me think of when I fell off my bike when I was ten or eleven and got a really bad scar on my hip! Thankfully I stayed out of traffic that day :)

I used to play 'chicken' with cars myself back in the day. Explains the wishbone the Doctor found when he operated on my chest. lol
