Hamish got up early
With many things to do
Cleaning teeth and washing face
He was going to the Zoo
So exciting was the thought of it
He rushed downstairs too fast
Slipping on a couple of steps
Now with one foot wrapped in cast
Six long weeks of lumpy limping
On crutches going to school
No football running jumping
No splashing in the pool
Hobbling around the garden
Talks to squirrels laughs with crows
Knowing too much rushing slows you down
Everybody knows
