If you wish to know

Running late

It got worse

Fog waiting for us

Down the track

Ambushed us 

Made it to town

At the intersection

A double semi ran down

Couldn’t go forward 

Backward or side ways

It was stuck bang in the middle

Across the two lanes

Rush hour traffic stopped

Then it got worse

Tooth had to be extracted 

An hour later and three stitches

I’ll skip on the details 

Told it was going to be sore

No surprises there

It was already despite analgesics 

Ordered to go to bed

Swallow four painkillers 

Every four hours

For two weeks

Sure added to the soreness

So don’t ask how was my day!
