Planning An Accident

Sounds a little funny?

I know

But oft times we hear

“I told you so”

Recall growing up?

Remember Mother’s word

Still you did

Something quite absurd

Remember her response

When in front her you went

“I told you so”

And away you were sent

You planned that accident

And even the scene

You knew it would happen

Even your scream

The floor was wet

And you thought to skate

“I told you so”

Now look at your state

It surely was an accident

But one you planned

It’s just unfortunate

That you involved the fan

The tree was wet

But you planned to climb

 “I told you so”

But I was out of my mind

Another planned accident

When advice you ignored

Now your foot is in a cast

And you’re looking quite bored

An accident waiting to happen

That’s an accident that threatens

At anytime and anyplace

Such an accident will happen

  

“Planning an accident”

It’s not funny anymore

Now you see why this title!

From the beginning

 “I told you so”
