The Briar Patch
(Or How My Legs Got This Way)
Bre’r Rabbit had his briar patch
A lovely place but there’s a catch
The briars and brambles cut and scratch
And it was there I met my match
We downed a model airplane there
It simply fell out of the air
We ventured in with utmost care
For it had landed who knows where
The briars and brambles had no path
They grabbed our legs with fervent wrath
And gave our legs a real bloodbath
Now you can see the aftermath
Mdailey 6/7/11
If I could post a picture you would see bloody scratches all over my lower legs. With
my chemo, I don't heal as fast as I used to. My doctor said to stay out of the briars
as my blood will not clot very fast and I could lose a lot of blood. Duh!
