I was battling with flu uncontrolled,
When my missus came down with a cold,
With no thought for my issue,
She said “pass me a tissue”
So I passed one of mine, two weeks old!

Eeuw!

My girlfriend was one of the gentry,
Met her family, they quizzed rudimentary,
Her mum let out a shriek,
And said I was unique,
Which I’m not sure was meant complimentary.

He had died when put finger in socket,
At his funeral, some fireworks in pocket,
Though just family and frieds,
Saw him off at the end,
At cremation, went up like a rocket!

inspired by Fandango’s One Word Challenge (FOWC) of 24 January 2021, broken.

On his bike out in warm sunny weather,
He crashed our while at speed, hell for leather,
He crashed into a boulder,
Thought “I’ve broken my shoulder”,
As he felt the two halves grind together.

The two most common cycling injuries are broken wrists and collar bones. When you’re about to crash, you either stay holding on to the handlebar, in which case the impace breaks your collar bone, or you put your hand out to save yourself, inb which case the impact breaks your wrist. It hurts.
