Poem 59 - An accident

I climbed up the crowded staircase

I was worried in many ways

I had reached the hospital

Hoping my friend hadn't broken his skull

Yes he had fallen of the stairs

It was worse than nightmares

Because it happened in front of me

him falling, I wish I didn't see

It was an awful sight after he fell

Down he fell pell-mell

On the spiral staircase he rolled

Help, somebody! he told

But it was already too very late

And on the hard ground was my mate

So I now hope he will be well

And hope his head doesn't swell
