What A Pity

Well, we at 10 Alden Av. have a new subject. . .
Which would be a dandy relief except. . .
It's nasty.
For Daddy had a fall while playing in his friend's back yard. . .
A rousing senior game of badminton . . .
And fell with rollicking enthusiasm when the joy ended . . .
In a ripping pain.

Iced, and lying in the grass,
Surrounded by the love and concern of his playmates
Dad got his bearings and drove home...
How I can't imagine!
Oh the pain!
To find an empty house. . . and no TLC.
He waited over an hour for me to come home. . .
And take him for X-Rays.

Results?
The ATFL tendon is sprained.
Dad is throbbing.
And I am sad for Dad.

Plus. . .
No matter how many times I blew the horn ; )
I had to bring in the groceries!
And I ask you . . .
Who will cut the grass?

It's a blessing in disguise -- now Dad has the down time to catch up on his journal.
