An Experience we all go through, 

 

Sometimes forgetting,

 

The dangers were exposed to,

 

Like desperately waiting for someone to phone you,

 

Just another shoe, removed to put upon another's foot, 

 

Didn't look before leaping now that can put pay to your evening, leaving many road workers realing. 

 

À jump to which we tried to raise awareness to walk on a ledge is a little bit careless,

 

If it wasn't for your job in this Circus being so high would have made you nervous.

Thanks Ray,

Despite enjoying the creative writing I depend heavily on software to correct my bad grammar spellings etc but undeterred I carry on creating poetry for the reader to interpret.

Should be "we're exposed to" and "reeling". I like the rhymes, but I'm not sure what kind of tone you're trying to set. I'm all for gallows humour, still it sounds a bit callous. But I could be misreading entirely.
