The Thornbush Incident
My infancy was plagued with several
accidents
From the pain of broken bones to the
woes of tonsillitis
My vivid childhood could have easily
been forgotten
But how can one forget the
illustrious thornbush incident
On a sunny Queensland afternoon
The Brisbane hot sun oozed
unforgiveness
As it's rays scorched my
inexperienced scalp
However, one would not predict the
horror to come
Playing aimlessly in the garden
I enthusiastically chased man's best
friend
But this frivolous chase led to my
own undoing
A patch of damp grass sent me
tumbling
The unsuspecting cactus met with
my posterior counterpart
Pain like this had never been so
evident
Thus the continuous struggle to
forget the thornbush incident
