The Accidental Waterfall Date

I look behind me

You slipped & slid

Down the steep embankment

Without a sound

Scratching up your pretty legs

I drop my bags

I pull you up

Onto the slippery narrow footpath 

I re-injure my shoulder

Sore from last week's rowing

Next opportunity

You go into the river again

To wash off the grit & blood

You grab a branch

To help yourself onto the bank

It snaps & falls on your head

I'm too far away to do anything

That's it!

We're turning back now

We were looking for

A second upstream waterfall

We already swam at the first

And made up for hurt feelings

We turn back now

Before you get killed

It's cold & cloudy anyway 

We've done what we've come to do

Let's carefully walk back to the car

When we get to the house

First Aid

Then get laid.
