An injudicious choice I made
some several years ago
resulted in a big black eye
and thick lip, both on show.
I didn't think the bloke would mind ~
my aim was just to help,
but in the dark I fumbled round
and somehow made him yelp.
The part I grabbed was small and soft
though in my frantic quest,
perhaps I squeezed a mite too hard
which caused his loud protest.
It wasn't until later on
when power was restored,
our close encounter 'came to light'
(that pun should be ignored).
My face was swollen, red and sore ~
his punch had been dead straight;
but vindication saved my pride
when I saw his painful gait!

What a delightful telling of a real life incident, humouous and insightful! You have crafted a gem!
I did not think it rude, very tactfully told it is!
Best of luck in the contest!
