The Stumble and Rise
This is my tale of stumble and rise
Which I have say, took me by surprise
I shed a few tears
On hearing the cheers
My heart was simply bursting with pride.
There was I, dancing along the street
Singing and swanking upon my feet
I got in a fix
O'er my feet I tripped
And cartwheeled down hill like an athlete.
Unaware I'd performed to a crowd
Till I’d heard them cheering me on loud
After the stumble
I rose most humble
And grateful, so I stood there and bowed.
