"ALL FALL DOWN"

   
 
WELL HERE I AM AGAIN FOLKS I CARN'T BELIEVE I'M  BACK.
 
MOTHERHEN THE TRADESMAN YOU KNOW THE ONE CALLED  JACK.
 
NO PICTURES OR NO RHYME FOR YOU ABOUT MY LITTLE BREAK.
 
YOU SEE I FELL LIKE JILLS MATE JACK OH! FOR GOODNESS SAKE
 
I SET OFF VERY  EARLY THAT LOVELY  SUNNY MORN.
 
AS USUAL MOTHERHEN WAS UP AT THE CRACK OF DAWN.
 
STRUTTING ALONG DOWN THE ROAD THE BIRDS WERE ALL I HEARD.
 
WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN WHOOSH..... I ENDED UP IN THE BLUMMING CURB.
 
MY SKIRT WAS FLYING ABOVE  MY HEAD SHOWING EVERYTHING  I HAD.
 
WHEN A LADY CAME RUNNING OVER TO ME AND WASN'T I SO GLAD.
 
MY KNEES ALL GRAZED AND BLEEDING MY ELBOW TOO ALL CUT
 
AT THESE TIMES CAN YOU  TELL ME WHERE YOUR FACE YOU  PUT.
 
TALK ABOUT FEELING KNOCKED UP I WAS FULL OF PAINS.
 
I THINK I BEST GO OUT AND BUY MYSELF  SOME BABY REIGNS. (HE-HE).
 
THEN DAUGHTER SHE CAN TAKE ME SOME WALKIES WHENEVER   I .
 
HAVE TO TRAVEL ANYWHERE TO GET THERE SAFE AND DRY.
 
WELL WHAT A  TA  DO I HAD TO TURN AROUND AND GO BACK HOME.
 
WITH A KNEECAP  SWOLLEN UP SO BAD LIKE A VERY LARGE  DOME.
 
CUTTING IT SHORT IV'E  RESTED THE WHOLE OF ALL THIS WEEK.
 
 
NO BIKINI IN THE SUNSHINE BROWNING MY BUM CHEEKS. (HE-HE)
 
I DID GET ONE OF THEM BLACK THOUGH OH! WHAT A MESS MY FRIENDS.
 
AFTER  ENDING UP IN THE GUTTER THAT DAY MY STORY IT DON'T END.
 
COS SATURDAY EVENING MOTHERHEN  WENT ALONG TO BED .
 
FROM THE HOT SUMMER SUN TO REST MY REAL BAD HEAD
 
I MUST HAVE BEEN SO TIRED OUT WHILST I WAS SO HARD ON.
 
THE NEXT THING I KNEW MOTHEREHEN WAS LYING THERE UPON.
 
THE FLOOR YES ONCE AGAIN MY FRIENDS I'D ROLLED OUT OF BED.
 
BANG BANG THE FLOOR SHOOK LIKE AN EARTHQUAKE ME  LAID THERE FOR DEAD. (HE-HE)
 
YET STILL MOTHERHEN WAS  ROCKING AND LAUGHING OUT SO  LOUD .
 
SAYING TO MYSELF I'M NOT QUITE READY  FOR A FRILLY SHROUD.
 
SO I PICKED MYSELF UP ONE MORE TIME AND HAD A LITTLE CURSE.
 
I BEST NOT PUT HERE WHAT I SAID THOUGH IN MY JOURNAL VERSE .
 
WELL  NEXT DAY WHEN  ASKED MY NEIGHBOUR BETTY IF OR NOT HAD SHE .
 
HEARD THE LOUD BANG WITH A FROWN SHE LOOKED UP  AT ME.
 
OH! KATH SHE SAID YES I DID IT WOKE ME AND  I GOT UP.
 
RUSHING DOWSTAIRS QUICKLY TO TAKE A CURIOUS  LOOK.
 
MY THOUGHTS WERE WITH THE GAS BOILER HAD IT BLOWN IT'S TOP.
 
WASN'T I GLAD WHEN ALL WAS OK AND THAT IT  HAD NOT.
 
ARE YOU OK NOW KATH ! SHE ASKED ME WITH A SILLY GRIN.
 
I REPLIED  YES BETTY AND I'D NOT EVEN HAD A BIT OF  GIN (HE-HE).
 
BETTY THEN  SAID I MEANT TO TELL YOU JUST THE OTHER DAY.
 
YOU KEEP CALLING ME BETTY LOVE AND IT'S BESSIE BY THE WAY . ( HE-HE).
 
WHOOPS... I AM  SO SORRY BESSIE NEVER MIND  LAUGHING KATH.
 
SHE REPLIED AGAIN YOU'VE TOLD ME YOUR DEAF HALF BLIND AND DAFT. (HE-HE).
 
SO I HAVN'T BEEN ONLINE MUCH LAST WEEK AND THIS OF LATE.
 
I DECIDED TO RELAX INSTEAD AND  NOW I'M  FEELING GREAT
 
SO BACK TO IT ALL NOW ONCE AGAIN POSTING RHYMES ONLINE.
 
THE GARDEN IS ALL TIDIED AND OTHER JOBS  GOING FINE.
 
BUT BEWARE  I'M GOING OUT NOW  FOR PAINT TO TRY AND DECORATE .
 
THE BATHROOM WITH A HINT OF A PINK SO MUST HURRY OR I'LL BE LATE.
 
I'LL BE STARTING BACK THIS EVENING TRYING TO  VISIT YOU ALL.
 
THATS IF I LAND SAFELY HOME AND DON'T HAVE ANOTHER FALL .
 
I MIGHT JUST LOOK OUT FOR A NICE FASHIONABLE WALKING STICK.
 
MAYBE THAT  WILL HELP ME WHO KNOWS AND DO THE TRICK.
 
 
I CANNOT BELIEVE NOWADAYS WHAT I AM GETTING LIKE.
 
AND TO THINK I WAS CONTEMPLATING  BUYING  A NEW BIKE.   (HE-HE).
 
TO RIDE ONTO  "THE NEW GREENWAY"  CYCLE TRACK WE HAVE HERE.
 
THIS SUMMER FOR SOME EXCERSIZE BUT NOT NOW  OH! NO - NO FEAR.  (HE-HE).
 
THAT MONEY'S  NOW GONE ON INSURANCE FOR THIS SILLY  CHUCK.
 
TO COVER ME FOR MY ACCIDENTS  LETS HOPE NOT  WITH SOME LUCK.
 
I HAVE BEEN A LITTLE WORRIED ABOUT ME LATELY DOING THE DOUBLE .
 
SO I'M HOPING WHILST IN TOWN TODAY NO HAT TRICK OR  IT'S TROUBLE.
 
I DON'T FANCY COMING HOME SOMEHOW LOOKING A SHADE OF PINK.
 
FROM A PAINT TIN FLYING HIGH TRYING TO MAKE ALL THE GUYS WINK..(HE-HE)
 
SO PLEASE SAY A PRAYER FOR ME MY FRIENDS THAT EVERYTHING GOES FINE.
 
LOVE YOU ALL AND IV'E MISSED YOU  FROM KATH AND "MY SIMPLE RHYMES". BYEEEEEEEEE

Oh poor dear Kath - you never do anything by halves do you!  There we were, imagining you sunning yourself on some beach, when this drama was going on.  Good idea to take out insurance before you attack the decorating once more.  The bruises must be an interesting colour by now.  DO look after yourself ;o))

Oh dear Kath!  And here I was thinking you were having a lovely time away sunning yourself on the beach!  I was thinking that you were having lovely weather too for your time away!  :-(  I do hope that you are feeling a lot better now and on the mend and that from now on you will be more careful!  You must take better care of our dear Mother hen!  Don't know what I'd do if anything happened to you!  (((hugs)))

I'm so sorry your trip in the sun was done in by your fall.  You needed rest but not that way.  I do hope you are ok.  You'll be in my prayers for sure.  I have a walking stick that I hike around the campground and festivals with.  It does help. 'OnYa' - ma

Oh Kath I do hope you are feeling a little better now ~ I know you said you were going to have a little break ~ I just thank your Lucky stars you didn't break anything ~ you rest up and get your strength back ~ Ally x

You know what they say Kath - these things always come in threes. So you'd best be on your guard for a while. ;O)

Glad you're okay and none the worse for your falls.

Oh my, Kath, you took quite a spill and never got to wear that bikini:(
LOL at calling your neighbor Betty and it was Bessie.  Don't feel bad...I've done that quite a few times myself.  I hope you're finally back to normal.  Don't go hurting yourself again fixing your place up.   LOL and stay in that bed.  Love xx Chris

 KATH,  SO SORRY OF YOUR MISFORTUNE. LUCKY ARE THOSE WHOM NEVER HAVE ANY MISHAPS.
   ONE OF MINE WAS WHILE TRYING TO GET OUT OF THE BATHTUB. I DO NOT GET DOWN IN THE TUB, AT LEAST NOT INTENTIONALLY. HOWEVER, THERE I WAS, FINALLY GETTING TO MY KNEES IN THE TUB AND COULD NOT GET UP ANY FARTHER. THE EMERGENCY BUTTON TOO FAR AWAY.
HAD BEEN VERY WEAK FOR A FEW DAYS. GOT MY ARMS OVER THE EDGE OF THE TUB AND TRYING TO GET OVER THE EDGE AND ONTO THE FLOOR.
  (FOR THOSE NEVER HAVING BEEN THIS WEAK, HARD TO BELIEVE THIS). FINALLY OUT ON THE FLOOR AND MANAGED TO SIT. WONDERFUL.
   THEN DISCOVERED BOTH KNEES WERE BLOODY. THE PREVIOUS OCCUPANT HAD APPLIED THAT  STUFF LIKE SANDPAPER TO THE BOTTOM OF THE TUB AND DURING MY EFFORTS HAD RUBBED BOTH KNEES RAW.
   THE SKIN DID GROW BACK, THANKS TO OUR BEST EVER PHYSICIAN JESUS.

Whatever you do, don't you dare to say it's old age (winks)...I'm not ready to admit that one yet. We all take our falls and spills here and there dear friend. Glad yours wasn't too bad, although painful. Stay safe and loved hon! (Hugs) Indigo

A cautionary tale for us all there Kath:  don't wear raggy knickers!  And for heaven's sake don't buy a walking stick - you'll fall over it!  What colour are your bruises now?
love, Angie, xx

Goodness Kath....I am happy to hear you weren't hurt too badly with your spills.  I have rolled out of bed a number of times myself and funny thing, one of my dogs used to fall out of bed almost nightly.   I'm just glad you are okay.  How funny you've been calling the lady the wrong name.....I got a kick out of that.
Do take care!!!

Hi there, Kath,
Oh, my!  Sorry to hear that you took a tumble!  I can tell you
that falls are a serious thing,  I am suffering knee problems
from one that happened two years ago and back trouble
from one this year.  I think we'd better watch our step,
or maybe next time we won't be laughing about it.  Concerned
about you, my dear, and do hope you are all better, now.   Pat

I feel for your fall as I worry about myself having an accident.    I hope you were not hurt too bad and will heal up quickly.    Thank you for your sentiment's over my neighbor Paul's passing on April 5.   His trailer is now gone and just an empty lot is there, with some cleaning the person that is doing the scraping, has yet to do.    His trailer was infested with mice everywhere, with an overwhelming smell, which you cannot imagine anyone living in.    It was how he lived, and he left a paper tablet saying his intention to go to a Christian Living Home in the upcoming month's, and that he wanted me to drive him there.   He did live to be 85 year's old which is a good life though.     It is nice to have so many people say such kind words about my friendship with him.    It has been raining here so much and today finally it is sunshining.    I will be going to buy a front door on sale with seperate pane's of glass (insulated) today with my little truck.    Take care Kath, and I will keep you in my thought's.    mark
