With my husband’s support, I came up with this following a recent accident.
My hubby’s had a fall on the pavement.
He was running for the bus at great pace,
And just as he reached the bus stop
He tripped up and fell flat on his face.
Now he’s lying on the settee looking battered,
His lips are all bruised black and blue.
When he tries to smile he looks so sad
‘Cos he’s missing a front tooth or two.
He went to the dentist for treatment
And came out looking faint and quite white.
The replacement charge was so astronomic
Such a shock for someone who’s tight.
‘Perhaps’ he said with some humour
As we made our way home in the rain,
‘If in future I try to move more slowly
It might relieve some of the monetary pain’.
He decided to get a second opinion.
This dentist hmm..d and ahh..d for a while,
Then he mended his choppers expertly,
And my hubby has got back his smile.
He didn’t have to spend all his pennies,
So he skipped and he hopped out the door,
And went round to everybody beaming,
But he certainly won’t be running any more.
