IT JUST CAME TO ME

I AWOKE TO A SOUND DOWNSTAIRS ,
IN THE DARKNESS I SLIP FROM THE BED,
MY HAND FEELING FOR MY GOWN ,
IT MUST BE HERE SOME WHERE,
AS I WALK INTO THE DOOR.

MY BIG TOE STRUCK IT FIRST .
AS I RAISED MY LEG I CRACK MY HEAD
HOW I SWORE .

LEAVING THE BEDROOM, GOWN HALF ON,
THE BELT DRAGGING ON THE FLOOR.
I TRIP AND FALL ,THEM STAIRS ARE STEEP YOU KNOW!
I HEAR A NOISE ,STAND STILL OR I'LL BLOW YOUR HEAD OFF.
I ANSWER I WISH YOU WOULD.
IT HURTS LIKE HELL.

TV REMOTE LAYS ON FLOOR THE TV PLAYS A FILM FROM
BEFORE THE WAR.
