Rex Mccoy Poet Rhyme

On Frozen Pond

~~~
So icy blue and windy too, the pub looms across the lake
One step forward three steps back, this nettlesome path forsake
~
So...Climbing upon the greenhouse roof, my drunken shortcut making
The glass beneath me shattering proof, of every step I'm taking
~
I cut my knees, I scrape my shins, my pants a ragged mess
A few more steps, I'll be across this frozen pond, I guess
~
A mighty crash, without a splash, the ice gives way too soon
My belt hangs up upon a nail, I dangle above the room
~
I wave my arms, I kick my legs
Hey!
There's people under water!
and I'm not even soaking wet, except I relieved my bladder
~~~
