My Most Embarrassing Moment

My Most Embarrassing Moment?

Twice I’ve entered freeways
On the ramps meant just for exits.
Lordy!  How embarrassing is that?
Except nobody knew me
And with little difficulty
I remedied those situations fast!

Twice or thrice I walked into
Restrooms meant for men.
But no one saw me, or, once again,
Nobody knew me.
I got off lucky.
But there was one time
I did it at a pool.
Without my contacts in, 
I might as well have just been blind.
I think the guy I walked in on was naked then.
But he did not know me  (Saved again!)

Another time, at age fourteen,
I hopped around the yard, a silly teen
Sitting on a big fat ball -
Called Hippity Hop. I took a fall
In front of my new boyfriend.
I split my pants; he didn’t even tell me,
But once I learned what I had done,
That ended our romance!

I ‘m sure I pulled more stunts than that
Through all my years of school.
But being such an airhead
I simply have to say,
My most embarrassing moment -
Whatever it may be -
I don’t recall it anyway!

lol! I enjoyed reading the comments here as much as I enjoyed your funny poem! I have no doubt this will place. Thanks for the laughs! PS. Just had to post my only comment this morning before I step out to say I do not know the song you mentioned in my 'Pondering' poem. I'm afraid my music is quite limited so you've got to tell me...hugs!

Great poem my friend. However. yours were mild compared to a couple of mine, both involving former girlfriends from decades ago so I can not post those since my wife reads here sometimes. A7

Hello Andrea... after seeing the title, couldn't wait to read your poem. I guess one's embarrassment is humour for the world - thank you Andrea once again - Lindsay

I once told a very wealthy man while in his office I could build his house better than anyone else, having said that I got up from a chair turned and walked straight into a door.
