Warning

The other day I was in the shopping mall,
just like humpty dumpty I had a great fall.

I had to go real bad,I ran past the sign,  
I hurt like hell and I just sat and whined

All because I didn't read that darn sign:

CAUTION WET FLOOR 

Thank goodness I don't have to pay a fine. 
(Tell that to my aching bones).
