Not really poetry, just feeling sorry for myself.
Bad verse for a bad day.
Oh woe is me, I’ve buggered me leg.
I’m down to hobbling on one peg.
Me Achilles tendon’s snapped in two
And I’m stuck at ‘ome wi’ nowt to do.
I’m waiting for a simple op’
To stick the bottom part to the top.
Eight weeks in plaster, so they say
I’ve had to cancel me ‘oliday.
Life’s a bowl o’ toe nails.

Not really poetry? What are you saying?
Anything that makes me wince as I read it has done it's job.
One definition of Poetry reads: "A verbal composition designed to convey experiences, ideas, or emotions in a vivid and imaginative way, characterized by the use of language chosen for its sound and suggestive power and by the use of literary techniques such as meter, metaphor, and rhyme."
That'll do for me Tommy.
Take it easy

| You should do worse to call it bad poetry. |

whatever were you up to?
Two cheering thoughts (well, three if you count "funny poem from a bad day"):
1 You are in good company. The actor David (Pink Panther) Niven once snapped his Achilles tendon - playing tennis against an expert and with (I think) Charlie Chaplin.
2 Now you have no excuse not to complete "Station Road" and make your fortune from selling kids' books!

So who is looking after Year 4 whilst you are lounging around feeling sorry for yourself, sat on your arse, reading the Daily Mail, drinking beer, watching Daytime TV and... AND! getting paid for it!! Shame on you Mister! Its a thundering disgrace!!
Seriously Phil, if Herself, a Deputy Head, got to hear me talking like that, she'd nail my balls to the Gates of Armagh. Have a good rest and take the opportunity to knock out some more of those wickedly wonderful School Poems.
Very amusing appeal to the caring side of Man's nature.
Get well soon. Soon enough to cash next payday's cheque!
Slan! |

Thanks for reading and commenting. Just got back from three days at Bolton hospital. All fixed - just got to sit on my backside with my feet up for a few weeks. It'll drive me mad.

Well, maybe I shouldn't laugh at your misfortune, but you did create a sense of humour in here, and I like that

With your Achilles and my sore eyes we may just reach the local pub for a pint-o-Ale.
Let's hope we don't get nailed along the way!
