I got hit by a car.
My daughter's worst nightmare by far.
She saw me get hit and then watched me flip,
As I rolled to a stop all ajar.
Many folks ran to my aide.
They told her to not be afraid.
They called 911 for medics, first aide,
And said, "Just wait here by the car."
I'm healing quite nicely now.
Off work for a week was allowed.
There are no broken bones, they said to go home,
Take my meds, just relax and lay down.
Deep bruises seems all that I got.
My back, sides and arms hurt a lot.
I'm on muscle relaxants cause moving is taxin',
But I'm tough and a sissy I'm not.
(i can do this. yes i can)
Relaxants
Someone was coming to look at my house,
it is for sale, they should be here at three.
Not being used to people I took 5 milligram
Valium… they didn´t arrive at three, I took
a pill of ten milligram.
Now I was totally relaxed, made coffee and
asked myself why should have to wait.
for people who can´t keep time. I felt a bit
drowsy and fell asleep, heard knocking on
my door but didn´t bother to open.
Spiders web hang from the beams and my
dog who has been dead for ten years still is
on a carpet in the hall. Would be buyers will
only come in to complain, who needs that.
