This is the finger my wife broke.
This is the infection
That lay in the finger my wife broke.
This is the bacteria,
That caused the infection
That lay in the finger my wife broke.
This is the fingernail all crumpled and shorn,
That held the bacteria,
That caused the infection
That lay in the finger my wife broke.
This is the leaf one November morn,
That got in the fingernail all crumpled and shorn,
That held the bacteria,
That caused the infection
That lay in the finger my wife broke.
This is the leaf blower my wife had adorn
That blew the leaf one November morn,
That got in the fingernail all crumpled and shorn,
That held the bacteria,
That caused the infection
That lay in the finger my wife broke.
This is the motor it was so worn
That was in the leaf blower that she had adorn,
That blew the leaf one November morn,
That got in the fingernail all crumpled and shorn
That held the bacteria,
That caused the infection
That lay in the finger my wife broke.
This is my wife’s finger straight as the day she was born,
That got caught in the motor since it was so worn,
That was in the leaf blower that she had adorn
That blew the leaf that November morn,
That got in the fingernail all crumpled and shorn,
That held the bacteria,
That caused the infection
That lay in the finger my wife broke.
This is my wife all forlorn,
That once had a finger straight as the day she was born,
That got caught in the motor since it was so worn,
That was in the leaf blower that she had adorn,
That blew the leaf that November morn,
That got in the fingernail all crumpled and shorn,
That held the bacteria,
That caused the infection
That lay in the finger my wife broke.
OUCH!!!

ReplyDeleteI love Bobby's blog. I LOVE IT.
ReplyDeleteThere goes my career as a "Hand Model"!
ReplyDeleteI say: BEWARE LEAF BLOWERS!!! Hire someone else (with insurance) to do the yardwork--I'm sticking strictly to gardening from now on! Well...once I regain use of my middle finger.
Oh, somehow that doesn't sound right!
...On second thought, YEAH, it does!!!
This post brings to mind a classic STYX song:
ReplyDeleteToo much time on my hands, it's ticking away with my sanity
I've got too much time on my hands, it's hard to believe such a calamity
I've got too much time on my hands and it's ticking away from me
Too much time on my hands, too much time on my hands
Too much time on my hands
Yes, the pun is intended!!!
Wow! Who would have ever thought that I would get a Styx quote on this blog?
ReplyDeleteDomo Arigato! Mr. Roboto.
What next, the profound wisdom of REO Speedwagon?
My dad is the new Dr.Seuss!
ReplyDeleteI know somebody who died like that....
ReplyDeleteI know, it's been scary. In fact, the same week I found out it was infected, a child in town had to be admitted to the hospital for the same thing--he was on intravenous drugs for 4 days! I was lucky--mine cleared up within 24 hours of starting the antibiotics.
ReplyDeleteI also remember when Rosie O'Donnell had to have surgery on her hand (and they were worried she might lose a finger) due to a staph infection after a manicure! YUCK!!!
That looks like it really hurt! Jill, we need to revise our outside job list.....I mean really, aren't there better things we can do with our time?
