Disaster

I went for my early morning run, just me and my young son. It was to be a lot of fun, then home for a hot cross bun. We waved to Mary's grandson, then it had all begun. My shoe came untied. I almost died. Come on one spiritual guide, I cried. One must hold on to their pride, disaster is about to show real wide. Down I went, did the concrete now have a dent? It all peeked off to the bright morning sun.

This is a cute poem but I hope you didn't give up running. I do my walking on a gym treadmill. Just be careful out there. Keep writing.

Oh, my goodness. I used to run five miles every day, but finally at 65 I gave it up, partially because I have a tendency to fall over nothing. This line cracked me up: did the concrete now have a dent? Best wishes with this entry in the contest, hugs, Sara

Did your son laugh, or did he run off and leave you, pretending he didn't know you. On the plus side, the sun was shining.
