bite me

i got bitten
by a dog
on my hand
should i blog?
 
i care
but do you
that my hand's
turning blue
 
he was big
was that critter
the dog
but not bitter
 
just bad tempered
jumpy
and now my hands
lumpy

 
i heard my bones crunch
and i thought "goodness me!"
i'm terribly glad
that my right hand's still free
 
the beast's fangs sank in
and tore out some flesh
so where i was more
i am now a bit less
 
my blood it was spurting
and dripping bright red
i felt a bit faint
which is better than dead
 
so off in the car
to the ayr a and e
where they said "not life threatening"
and left me to seeth
 
they injected my arm
with a tetanus shot
let me tell you my friends
that hurt, quite a lot!
 
they bandaged me up
and sent me on home
to deal with my stress and my trauma
alone
 
ah me and oh my
will i ever manage
to recover myself
from this terrible damage
 
my bandage grows smaller
the wound it is healing
but in my ring finger
i have missing feeling
 
enough now of whining
it's time to forget
the fact that the dog
bit me not the vet!
