Haiku Friday: Ouch!
Last week I had an unfortunate event… I stopped for coffee while driving, and went to a place where it was dispensed out of a machine into a cup that you placed under a spigot. I did that, but it only filled the cup about 2/3 of the way. So I pressed the button again and then it overfilled the cup-- stuff was spilling all over! I reached my hand in to grab the cup out of there and poured boiling-hot coffee on my hand. Then I jerked my hand away and threw coffee all over myself. I ended up with some bad burns.
It was quite a performance. Maybe not quite as bad as that one day in Grand Marais or during the "Dallas Incident," but still pretty bad.
So let's haiku today about injuries-- to you, someone else, Joe Theisman, whoever. I'll go first:
Ham-handed Osler
Tossing coffee straight upward;
It had to come down.
Now you go! Just make it 5 syllables for the first line, 7 for the second, and 5 for the third… and don't hurt yourself!

One drunken evening
As I climbed through a window
I fell backwards, ouch....
More recently, boom...
again, through another window,
ankle bruise, not sprained
Perhaps I should stop
trying to climb through windows
and try the door - hum.....
