Grammy's Ice Capade

BJ, I feel for you with that painful past experience. Falling is no fun at any age but it is worse as we get older for sure. Sara

I've slipped on ice and the flinging of the arms, the quick over correcting of feet out of control was very funny to my onlookers, but this poem was actually for fun, drawn from snippets of past experiences that seemed riotously funny. Happily I didn't slip a disc, but I thought it was sort of funny in reference to a 'compact disc' coupled with the tune the tune of 'Stayin' Alive'. Artistic license :-) I was just trying to put together a goofy limerick :-D I was however able to draw from some painfully 'funny' past experiences that seemed hysterical to the kids....but left me with a bruised sternum after tripping and flying through the air with the greatest of ease....that is, until I stopped abruptly! That still generates laughs, albeit nobody laughs at the pain it generated for me or my recovery time! My pride was bruised as much as my sternum was. That was so not fun! Even that makes me laugh though. I should have remembered my age, but boy, what a reminder I got!

Thank you :-) Yes, that is one fun song. I love it :-)

I love the Bee Gee's <3

It was a fictitious poem, and the slipped disc was added for dramatic effect. I've slipped on ice and it's a real hoot, but slipping a disc, no....but still would have seemed like a riotous joke to the onlookers! Funniest videos comes to my mind. Boy, the laughs that show generates! Somehow it all 'looks' so funny...as long as its not a personal experience! It is not so much fun to experience though!

Thank you!

Thank you Linda, I always appreciate your words of encouragement :-) This isn't so much my forte', usually my poems are in a similar style that I'm familiar with. This was fun to try something totally different!

Thank you! <3 :-)

I'm glad it made you giggle <3 :-) It is always funny to see comedic looking scenes, but never as much when it's on a first person experience!
