 Contemporary poetry by Dan Donlan

I fell thirteen flights of stairs
Backwards down the stairs
Waiting for the ambulance
Petticoat Dictator brought me a bucket
So I would not get blood or vomit on her carpet
As they were taking me away
She and the neighbor were repairing
The door I had pulled off the wall
Trying to break my fall
She fell lightly broke three bones in her ankle
Humpty dumpty was put back together again
Ok, it was a major overhaul and a puzzle
Now they are taking out the metal and redoing
Doctor said they had to leave in one small piece of medal
I said, "That was the same as when you did her lobotomy!"
She put me in Pink room and checked on me once a day
She has a cowbell. We got it for hockey when Ryan scores
a goal and when she rings it I have to come running
Where did I go wrong in this relationship?
I am Irish do not believe in Kings and Queens
I am easing my pain with Jameson whiskey
Don't care if they say I am 47 percent English and
only 23 percent Irish by DNA.
