I hit my thumb with a rock by accident of course,<\/span><\/p>\n

So hard I crushed my thumb as I struck it with great force,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A wasp had bit my thumb as I was looking for a rock,<\/span><\/p>\n

Don’t worry, it’s not enough to rush off to the Doc,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Yet it pains me so to miss the wasp as I struck off course,<\/span><\/p>\n

Self inflicted accidental pain is pain of the worst source,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My thumb felt as if a syringe of great size had penetrated,<\/span><\/p>\n

As I saw the wasp with arched back I became exasperated,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Lightning struck as my brain reacted and I pulled the trigger,<\/span><\/p>\n

The wasp flew off with great speed as my thumb grew much bigger,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Bigger and bigger it grew as did the pain from lightning rock,<\/span><\/p>\n

It seemed to intensify with each click of the clock,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In panic I pulled the wire from the wall to stop the clocks tick,<\/span><\/p>\n

To my surprise I pulled the wire lose as if a magic trick,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Electrical arcs were everywhere as sparks and time flew,<\/span><\/p>\n

This is the worst self inflicted event this old man ever knew,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The clock seemed to spin but how if the power was gone,<\/span><\/p>\n

Pain has affected my mind to think time would not move on,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now I stand in a world of confusion as pain reaches my brain,<\/span><\/p>\n

Electrical sparks, rock below, and a thumb swollen in pain,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Slight clarity came as I realized the sparks were emissions of pain,<\/span><\/p>\n

Is there a moral to this rhyme that came from a painful brain,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I closed my eyes to calm myself and found the clock intact,<\/span><\/p>\n

When in pain thinking isn’t clear and you may overreact,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Pain can confuse the brain and in turn can deceive the eyes,<\/span><\/p>\n

Don’t overreact and use the rock, it is much better, pain wise.<\/span><\/p>\n

The end.\u00a0 By Pat<\/span><\/p>\n

To ease Patti’s tears.<\/span><\/p>\n

I love you baby.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
