Wilma Neels Poet Limerick

Transformation – Cool To Fool

I was on my way to school 
joking and acting oh so cool 
we knew about the drain 
we always tried to refrain 
on this day I became a fool 

I was still chatting to the crew 
suddenly I was out of view 
with two feet in the drain
only my head remain
not cool, it happened in full view… 




*True story, it happened when I was in 
Grade 10, luckily I wasn't hurt, 
just my ego took a plunge, pardon 
the pun ~ lol*
