I was leaving my house at a pace,
But I went without tying my lace,
I stepped onto the drive,
I began to nosedive,
And I tripped over flat on my face.
This is my response to the earlier Flashback Track Friday prompt, where today we are thrown the track Wah Wah and asked to answer:
I set the prompt this week and I already offered an answer from my point of view. So I thought I’d answer it from my daughter’s perspective.
