An acorn fell
From atop a tree
Bounced off my head
Then struck my knee
Though not too big
It hurt like hell
When I glanced up
Another fell
It plunked real hard
In my right eye
Pained me so
But I did not cry
Instead in rage
I hurled it away
Still can’t believe
What happened that day
It smacked a tree
As I did pout
Ricocheted back
And knocked me out
Phyllis sent this comment for which I am gratefulL
