He was walking quite well
All of a sudden
Oops!
He fell
She was standing tall
And feeling proud
Oops!
She had a fall
He was leading the race
From beginning to end
Oops! A mistake
He slid at the bend
A sparrow singing
O so sweetly
Oops! A cat heard
The meal was tasty
I was about to eat
A sumptuous meal
Oops!
A fly lit on the meat
An unmistakable way
A way to exclaim
Especially when
You are to blame
I had it trapped
No way of escape
Oops!
At me sprang the rat
Oops!
Another mistake
On a daily basis
So many we make?
Oops!
What happen now?
He was butted
By a cow
I am just about done
Oops!
Late for an errand
I have to run
It was something to do
Just yesterday
Oops!
I forgot, now I must pay
Foul ups and bleeps
And blunders too
Oops!
Too much to chew
