Poof a True Story

I broke my ankle and my foot, On a ski trip that we took. My boot was loose it flew off, Landing me in a pile of fluff. I looked down and my foot was cockeyed, The pain so intense I wanted to die. My husband in shock as he arrived, Frozen tears fell from my eyes. Went to emergency, With great urgency. You have a dislocated ankle, Said Dr. Stankle. After putting it back in place, Off to x-rays we did race. "Well" said Stankle with a serious look, "You also have a fractured foot." "You'll need surgery in a few weeks, Go home and try to get some sleep." So I hobbled around in a cast, Wish that I could change the past. Surgery day came I couldn't wait, Now I have screws and several plates. I can't walk on my shattered foot, In the near future I'll need a boot. Walking and standing will come with time, All because of something I liked.
