Home Grown Conspiracies
…research shows that 77% of accident related injuries happen in the home…
A scalded hand while draining the pasta
a cut on your thumb from a broken glass, a
broken toe from stumbling into the door jamb (you weren’t wearing slippers!).
A wrenched shoulder reaching for cans
on a high shelf, losing your balance
and falling off rickety ladders, (welcome to the broken hippers).
A sprained knee and a spasming back
slipping on floors you recently waxed
and developing a nervous tick (trepidation starts to fill me).
Now here I stand at the top of the stairs
perhaps it’s time to whisper a prayer
to the Gods who protect klutzes like me (‘cos my home is trying to kill me).

Are you sure you weren’t watching over my shoulder and trying not to laugh too loud? 😉 It sounds so like me…
Lol! One of the things I’ve learned while posting these poems about everyday life is how very, very similar we all are! 🙂
Without a doubt and thank you for sharing it! 🙂
