but not as good as I should - 
It should have been fantastic,
but it was only pretty good.

 staight into hell

And keep this injustice at bay
Thus said the major
Who tripped on the floor
Thus ending the war for that day

      Riding my own coattails
         I stumbled and tripped

         I seem to have skipped

We recently lost my Grandpa
It took a toll on my Grandma
	she took to the bottle
	an unstable waddle
tripped on him hiding – such chutzpah!

remember the time i forgot my own name 
and tripped over the entire english language?

Premium Member Halfway There

Went for a walk,
Tripped on a rock.
Started to run.
Face to the sun.
Climbed a tree,
Feeling pretty free.
I could swear,
I'm halfway there!

Listen to poem:
Wind blew crabs outta their holes.
Hail pelted cars to smash repairs.
Shops clapped shut with thunder rolls.
Spring tripped and fell downstairs.

But David knew that he would fall

And everyone groaned
His shoelace tripped him after all!

I tripped over a bearskin rug,
I was trying to steal a hug,
when I fell to the ground
I heard a scary sound...
"Bear's not dead" she said with a shrug.

Long lean limber. sultry, slender,
Pretty pout, neat nails, great grin.
Fatal flaw?
Incredibly clumsy, elbow bumpy,
Tripped twice, shiner. Shucks, chagrin.

Tripped over sand packed in a pail
Watching ocean ships set sail
Fell and hurt my pride
Not believing what I spied
Top hat and coat being worn by a whale

Morning mist covers my lips...
My heart is open and oh so stripped...
My soul is bare but never tripped...
My mind is warm like the first coffee sipped...

I stepped out the door to feed Doggy
The day was so beautifully foggy
I tripped on his dishes
And swam like the fishes
And now all my dress clothes are soggy!

Donald Trump's alarm clock went dead
So Ivanka woke him instead 
He sighed, "I don't tell lies!
I was resting my eyes
When I tripped and fell on this bed!"

Stumble And Rise

There was a girl in a night club,
Who tripped in that crowded pub.
She bruised her left arm,
But laughed off the harm,
And danced while a dog ate her grub.

Premium Member The Stumble and Rise

A girl with a giggle so grand,
Tripped on her own feet and landed.
She fell with a spin,
Then let the dance begin.
And twirled with the crown close at hand.

Unscathed

Ran a mile,
Along the track,
Tripped.
Unscathed.

Walking ’round
By the sidewalk
Pushed.
Unscathed.

Took a dive
In the deep blue
Drowned.
Unscathed.

Snotty

There was a man so debonair
That he held his nose high in the air.

When he tripped in a pool
And looked like a fool,

He said: "I really jumped in on a dare."

Could you be serious for one minute? She asked. Like the Dog Star? I quipped. Radiant I glowed, and in the moment, basked; Inexplicably, the next, I tripped.
