How Stupid Can I Get
I fell off the boat
doing a way stupid thing,
walking the handrail.
No one saw me fall.
No one heard my call either.
This water is cold
and my legs are numb.
I can't tell if that's a shark
nibbling off my toes.
No one saw me fall
but you.

Cleverly innovative; well done.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kindness
DeleteSo darn you throw me a line! Help before this shark has his dinner!
ReplyDeleteUmm... I think there is some difficulty here, like maybe she doesn't care I'm overboard. :(
DeleteOh wow. Impressive writing. The ending surprised me. So one person seen you fall. At least you weren't pushed.
ReplyDeleteNo, I don't think I was pushed. I don't think it makes the ocean less wet though :(
DeleteNice to know who your friends are, what?! LOL. Interesting slant you found.
ReplyDeleteI have always been a bit askew as you well know by now, my friend.
DeleteNever would of thought of this... Great write. Love and Light, S
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteAwesome way you brought it here.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
Deletequite a different take...but sad..x
ReplyDeleteThere's a signal here of a complicated relationship.
DeleteYou the shark and God's ocean. A unique and brilliant take on the prompt Christopher. :-)
ReplyDeleteWell I'm jolly well not going to dive in after you with all those sharks - you should have been more careful.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, it was a very unexpected take and made compulsive reading ~ Eddie :)
giggle...this made me think of "Throw Mama From the Train"...
ReplyDeleteYou mean... gasp... I am not all that original?? Oh how my crest has fallen...
