Let me tell you how this had to start
then we can both hurry and depart
I have a lot of time to kill
this whole thing happened against my will
my friends and family wanted to teach me how to sew
but it's one of those things I didn't care to know
I'm not a girly girl and I'm quite inept - with a needle and thread
and of course with my luck I got the needle stuck in my head!
now you can't possibly picture how it happened to be
just remember you're dealing with me
I'm not completely sure either, but hey, what could I do?
I'm the kind of person that could manage
to paste my head to my shoulder with a nonstick glue
I reached for my needle and followed their example
first, by accident, I knocked over the pineapple
then I sewed my finger to material - I didn't fuss
then I sewed my mom's finger to the canvas...
that's where it should have ended...but no
just one more try and give it a go
so I endured and thought this would be over quick
trying to get the hang of this and be slick
but this last stitch just wouldn't go through
so I yanked harder - that's what I thought I should do
well I was wrong again and this was the end
when the needle finally went through with the thread
it didn't just drive through the material-
it went straight up and into my head!
so I was off to the emergency room, full speed ahead!
and still floppin around was that needle in me head...
cars honked, people pointed and laughed
the needle had won, I indeed had felt it's wrath
it's supposed to be simple - sure tell me another one
having a needle surgically removed certainly isn't any fun

Kaelin -
wow what are the odds?!
-
So realistic
We used to do that when we were sewing at the garment factory and yes I can see myself in these situations. -
yay
glad you liked my works!
-
Lol, I can't sew either...
Or cook...
Or... lol
funny
I like how you made into a sonnet in stead of just a story. It takes talent to do that. Anyone can simply pen the event as it was, but to make it rhyme--to do it in poetic form! That is a feat deserving of recognition. -
lol oh gosh, thats a crazy story! great job

yeah
we got the needle out before we go to emerge. I just liked how the ending came about so I decided to end it with a little class - of it's own! so yeah it is true - all except getting to emerge! lol.
-
LOL... Please tell me this was not a real event... hehehe
Nicely written! I do think that the rhyming should have followed a more syllabic path, but hell, I'm just a guy reading a hilarious poem at 2:30 in the morning instead of sleeping until I get up at 6:30...
Loved it!
"please tell me it didn't really happen!" -
oops
well the link i gave my friend to make a comment made it come out as if i said it....oiy...incompetence -
LOL. I can see myself doing something like this. You did a great job on the rhyming on this. Thanks for entering and keep writing! ~Karli~
