Started writing something funny, and then I realized that one can get burned by being rubbed the wrong way.

Road Rash

 


Did you know you can get burned,

while sliding on ice? Probably not,

but the thought isn't very nice.


On the other hand,

sliding on a smooth,

basketball floor,

can give you a burn,

painful like never before.


And for those few of you,

who have wrestled on a mat,

know that a mat burn,

can be where it’s at.


Waterskiing without any skis,

with your butt or your feet,

sliding on water with ease,


Would probably burn your feet,

if the water wasn't so cold,

to cool condition any defeat.


But worst of all, if you would fall,

skateboarding, bicycling or,

at high speed on your motorcycle,


To hot blacktop or concrete below,

while riders wear leathers or pads,

to ease the blow or the slide.

Prevent broken bones, nasty scabs.


Moral:


Do not rub your partner,

the wrong way in word, deed or song.

Impression that you make,

May burn in memory very long.

As a child I had many ‘burns’ of one kind or another…
Learning to ride a bike gave me the most…my poor knees,
Sore and bleeding after skidding …the burn was was SO
painful…
Your last verse is very wise!
A quirky and enjoyable poem…

IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER...ON THIS OUR JOURNEY...WE ALL EXPERIENCE SOME KIND OF 'ROAD RASH'. SOMETIMES IT'S FROM OTHERS, BUT THEN SOMETIMES IT'S OUR OWN DOING. BUT IN ANY CASE, IT ALL GOES INTO; '...ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD...' WHICH MEANS IT MAKES ONE A WISER AND BETTER PERSON, AMEN. THANKS FOR SHARING, RON. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS

Wise words, Ron. I remember getting "burned" by hard snow when I was a child sledding down a hill. Love and peace to you,

Regis. 🌳🌲😎

I had a bicycle rash before, but it bled because I fell and my knee slid on the ground. It formed a scrape on my knee, and to this date, the scar is still there on my knee. It certainly wasn't fun at all.

I enjoyed your poem!

Sandie :)

I do believe I've had all of these burns sometime in my life. The moral was powerful and full of wisdom.

These various rashes are bad enough, but paper cuts are the worst of all!

Road Rash! As a bicycle rider (used to be) I am very familiar with road rash. That skinny tire bounding off an acorn, of a discarded bottle causing the front wheel to skid or swerve or go other than where you want it to go and..."Ouch!" Major road rash on knees or elbow, or arms or face..."Ounch!"

Road Rash? Know it well.
