Cory's Day by Theresa Arnold

Cory fell and hit his head.
When he rolled out of his bed.

Hit his toe upon a wall
When he walked into his hall.

Electrocuted his right thumb
Now his tingling hand was numb.

Bathroom sink sure hurt his pride
When he hit it, bruised his side.

Left his driveway, backing up
Hit and killed his neighbor's pup.

Morning coffee burnt his lip
When he stopped to take a sip.

Office chair was on the ground
Loud "KABAAM" and then fell down.

When he grabbed the desk to rise
Something flew into his eyes.

He said, "How much more of this?"
Then he heard a cobra's hiss.

Bit his leg and crawled away
Cory on the floor did lay.

Sirens wailed there was a crash
Cory's ambulance was smashed.

Got him out, for Heaven's sake
How much more can this man take?
