Crippled

Contributed by Butterat_Zool on Wednesday, 14th August 2002 @ 01:05:06 PM in AEST
Topic: SongLyrics

I was crippled on the day that I met you.
I saw you looking at me with your pretty eyes.
I couldn’t stop staring at you, you’re so beautiful,
and that’s what caused my demise.

My mama done told me ‘bout a million times
“Make sure the hook is clear before you cast.”
But on that day, my cautions merely slipped my mind,
and now my life of walking’s in my past.

It would have been the perfect cast,
if only I had looked.
But by the time I realized
my leg was hooked,
I’d already tripped,
and fallen over my tackle box,
and into the lake with the sharks.

I clung onto that pole the very best I could,
and I sure know I was in a lot of pain.
Imagine the embarrassment of when my legs came off,
and shouts and screaming shot into my brain.

The paramedics rescued me, and I done healed up quick,
but life sure sucks when you ain’t got no legs.
And so my Lord, I hope that you can hear this call,
and bring me back that woman, God, I begs.

I was crippled on the day that I met you.
I saw you looking at me with your pretty eyes.
I couldn’t stop staring at you, you’re so beautiful,
and that’s what caused my demise.

It would have been the perfect cast,
if only I had looked.
But by the time I realized
my leg was hooked,
I’d already tripped,
and fallen over my tackle box,
and into the lake with the sharks.

And into the lake, with the sharks.

I like it, different but good.
Great write with good imagination.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
