It was frosty to-day
Fresh and clean
As I trudged my pathway
Grey ice on the sidewalk
Be careful I thought
Watch for that darn black ice ,too
It’s so hard to see
I crash the next moment
Feet flying
Hands flailing
I descend in a heap
Glasses and hat ascue
Did I break anything
Does everything move
Get up if you can
Embarrassed, clothes in disarray
I’M UP
Ouch, I’m bruised
But everything works
I’ll stop for a coffee
Then toddle off home
Try again to-morrow
It will work out the stiffness
Of that surprising big thump.
