Sunday Serenity
Of all the foolish things I’ve done
this would rate, second to none.
Though already feeling very tired
I saw a pot plant, almost expired:
re-potting was my order of the day
blending loam mix, sand and clay.
Fully grown, the plant weighed a ton
on wheels, rollable by a super-human.
While tipping the pot, I heard a crack
only to realise - there went my back
so soon out of alignment, yet again
tumbling, waning in unbearable pain.
While falling, my arm gashed and bled.
Dropping the tools, I felt half-way dead.
High above me, and way out of sight,
the hanging-baskets laughed delight
when I stood up and banged my head!
Oh, how I wished to be asleep, in bed.

How many times have we all done this instead of waiting for help and then regretted it? Please take things easy and treat yourself to some ice cream and a movie today 
Much love, Kerry xx 
You told the story in a really fantastic way with great form and rhythm to the piece ..... cookie for you to go with your icecream 
Might explain the lack of coordination, too. ;D *chuckle*
