We Did Not Panic

Histrionically dramatic
Always loud and frantic
Her sobbing did not panic
Any of us substanic
Until we noticed 
The two by four sticking
Out of both sides of her head

I know hundreds unfortunately. We had a teacher once who went from sling to bandage to cast to wheelchair on an hourly basis.
