Getting ready for my date with Neptune

Getting all nervous about my first date
Just hope I get everything straight
Ordered the tux today online
Comes with a nice bottle of wine

Went to the mall with my entourage
Looking for a perfect corsage
The flowers have to be just right
So I don’t feel so contrite

There’s a beautiful flower I see
Bent to smell it, got stung by a bee
Man this really blows
He got me on the nose

Now its all red and swollen
like an infected colon
What a shitty turn of events
I can’t detect any floral scents

Well no sense crying over spilt milk
Gotta go buy a ribbon of silk
That would make a beautiful band
To tie the flower on her hand

Didn’t look where I was walking
Do to all my stupid balking
Didn’t see the open door
Wound up fallin to the floor

Broke my leg in two places
Now I'm walking with braces
Hobbling now one more thing to get
A gift for her red corvette

There it is on the top shelf
No one around so I help myself
Reaching up with my crutch
The tip of it I can touch

It wiggles and wobbles before it comes down
Hitting my head like a thorny crown
Mild concussion the doctors say
Maybe I’ll be better by Saturday

They gave me something for the pain
As I’m leaving it begins to rain
I hop quickly to my car on one foot
When my crutch slips on some soot

Thankfully I didn’t break anything new
But now my nose is turning blue
In spite of it all I get back home
And collapse on my couch of foam

Just as I’m about to take a nap
On my door is a loud rap
Its my tux from Federal Express
Finally and end to my distress

I open the package to see
That the tux is too small for me
Like it or not there’s nothing I can do
I’m going with a short tux and one shoe

I hope Neptune doesn’t run away
When she sees me in such disarray

Love the rhyme scheme. As for the content you sure don't need any bad luck, you are accident prone, hope it's temporary. Good luck on your date, if you make it. Thanks for another good poem. Vic

Aww Gumby , everything will
be allright ~
Neptune will love you
on first sight.
She won't look at the
crutches , my dear~
She'll be too busy
holdin you near.
So don't worry about
your date ~
Just knock on her door..
and don't be late!

I couldnt resist this little poem.
Have fun Gumby!

Even banged up
And stung by a bee
You'll still look good
To Neptune and me!

Take care.
