Goof

by Michael D Nalley   Jan 29, 2011


I just took a shot of eighty proof.
I'll cut that old tree over our roof.
You hold the ladder I'll cut the tree.
Professional contractors are not free.

It is as easy as falling off a log.
Honey, is there any more eggnog.
My motto has always been safety first.
'You wouldn't want me to die of thirst.

I've forgot more about this than most know.
I just wish I was sure where that thing will go.
Usually I fall in the path of least resistance.
I am well aware of gravity's existence

Whoops, it looks like we made a goof.
Looks like it is heading for the roof.
For whom it may concern, I'll yell timber!
I would move, but I am just too limber.

This did not turn out quite like I planned
That's not where I wanted it to land
Oh well, my dear, who really cares?
I'm also a master of quick repairs.

No indeed I am not at all a chicken
I can take a lickin' and keep on tickin'
If anything is broken so what
At least I landed on my butt
