Life's a Blast
Whilst basking in the sun last week
I gazed up to the sky
Before I had a chance to blink
A bird crapped in my eye
From the shudd’ring hammock I duly fell
And rolled along the grass
Two snails, a slug were landed on
I squished them with my ass
On rising to beflip-flopped feet
A toe, it got a mangling
A hasty glance confirmed the news
Below my foot, my toe was dangling
Shortly after the reattachment
Lower limb in plaster cast
I bought myself a shotgun
Gave that goddamned bird a blast.

Delightful - comedy with a deft touch.
