Types of Fall
Types of fall
We all taste the physical one
After Earth’s Gravity has won,
With zest we rush at the fallen,
No big deal there, so no stalling
“You’re okay! Please, don’t mind the slip”
That is: if uninjured one’s hip;
Victim, Helper back on their feet:
More miles to deal with by the feet
Hundred times worse fall from some peak,
Climbers luckiest scar: a bad streak;
I tell you time for ambulance,
Where one shall have to first balance…
For First Aid or treatment proper:
Anything that might save dropper…
As much we’d see the other fall,
When feuding failure makes a call
And so badly hits one’s image
One scuttles off to one’s village
For a life more indoors than outdoors,
Still, at night moving on all fours…
