I was walking to the License Bureau

Looking back over my shoulder

She was really a cute gal

Somebody moved a curb in front of me

I took a quick sidestep

To go down and kiss the cement

The cement isn't very forgiving

And also very abrasive, my knee still smarts

Four nice ladies came to assist

With towels and kleenex and sympathy

Blood was flowing freely

Then one policeman showed up, soon there were three more

Then an ambulance arrived with medics

People were looking, even staring

All I wanted to do was get my tabs

And go home to lick my wounds

Can you see alright? Are you dizzy?

We'll take you to emergency

I'm OK, dang blood is still flowing

If you won't go with us, sign this

but go to Urgent Care to get stitches

Called daughter, needed second opinion on stitches

She agreed with them, darn

Went to Urgent Care, they had moved

At least now I had a chauffer

Went to new place and they were open

How old are you? Only 93

Well we can't treat heads over 65

She talked and explained to my daughter, not me

Guess she figured old codgers can't understand, irritating

Go to emergency at St. Johns or Regents

Chose St. Johns, thought it would be quicker

Walked in and receptionist said you have to have a wheelchair

I protested, she persisted, she won

Wait over there

Ambulance after ambulance unloading their are

Hour later, Ive got to pee

Hope they don't insist on escort

Made it through, no one caught me

Here was a mirror, what a mess, no wonder people stared

Cleaned up what i could, some spots won't come off

Guess those are figts from the cement

Damn, it's bleeding agin

Got back to my seat, another hour goes by

Must be a real furor back there

My name is called, finally

She says we are going to room four

Hallway to hallway to hallway

If I had known we were doing a marathon, I would have requested a chair

Reason for delay, very busy and MRI backed way up

Rour four, walls lined with gadgets and thenone of those trundle beds

On top of the bed one of those cute gowns

I said, I want to go home

She said let's compromise, just down to the waist, OK

ThenI was invaded, two doctors, one PA and nurses

Must have been trying to make up for lost time

One nurse stayed and started cleaning wounds

A doctor arrived to do sutures, then a transporter for MRI

Once they got going, they were a whirlwind, maybe they needed that room

MRI went great, x-ray slowed up, machine over heating

At last free to go, home sweet home here I come

Met a neighbor in the hallway

She said, what happened to you?

I said, I was looking at this cute gal

And I tripped over a curb

She said,

You need to get some ANTI-VIAGRA pills

Gee - I'm only 93
