I took a tumble on my way to church. It was the sole not the soul that needed redemption. My heels and the ground had a battle; the ground won. LOL
So now I have a sprained ankle.



OUCH!

I could cry but I won't
I could scream but I don't
I could complain about the sprain
I could fret in this pain
I could lie here under ice
I could take a pill twice
I could worry and curse

or

I could write this little verse

And

So

I

Did

Its good to see you can still retain a sense of humour whilst in the throes of pain Kathy, it shows strength and character and is also good for the sole, Ha Ha.

Hi Kathy

I've got one on the mend playing football with my children
I've had many but this one almost made me sick with the pain
I think I may have chipped a bone but spending hours once a
fortnight doesn't appeal to me any more! Hope yours heals soon lol X

It's terrible to laugh at others' pain, especially with the other is your own sister! But oh my this is a funny verse and then I get the picture in my head of your actual fall. Did you panic and look around to see if anyone saw you fall? Or did you try to swoop yourself up fast like you were practicing a fancy move on the ice skaing rink, you know: "I meant to do that"? Or did you hear someone say shit and think they said sit and so you did? Did you look around to see if anyone saw your underwear? Since it was Sunday and you were going to church, was it holy underwear? Did you clamp your mouth tight and grrrrouwlll low in your throat like I've seen you do when things really get you mad? I wish I'd had a video camera because after getting over the hurt and you are well, we could watch it and laugh and laugh and laugh, then we would send it in to America's Funniest Home Video's and win $10,000!

Clever and funny; your sense of humour and poetical skills are very much intact! (The cursing would not have made a very good post on the bay, especially on Sunday you know... ;-,?)

Aww Kathy, so sorry to hear that - seems like a lot of us are in the wars at present - fell off my bicycle yesterday morning and have broken two ribs - so am strapped up and very uncomfortable - really hope the ankle is ok - look after yourself and use plenty of ice!
