Dog-Tired

Walk dog 
In fog

Can't see
Bump tree

Fell down
Face frown

Sore head
Cut bled

Now lost
Bit cross 

In pain
Slow gain

Came rain 
More bane

Wet through
Cold blue

Mud slip
Pulled hip 

Found path
Mad laugh

Walk more
Still sore

Long roam
Got home

Deep sighed 
Dog-tired

Red wine
All mine

Thank you Tom, first one was a while back then suddenly two in a row which is a bit like our buses lol, this was a little bit longer originally but then decided to shorten it, Emilia : )

Thank you Jan, I have been known to walk into branches of trees and have slipped in the mud many times, I am quiet an accident prone person and that is before any wine lol, Emilia : )
