I broke my leg whilst climbing recently <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was flying for such a short time<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A matter of seconds\/moments<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yet I found it rather pleasurable <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And then I was punished <\/p>\n\n\n\n
My injury was straightforward but serious <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And I have been housebound ever since<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My cousins Dip and Doo have been popping in <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To ensure that I am not going mad with boredom <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have been reading a lot and writing poetry <\/p>\n\n\n\n
(this poem is a good example of my pen)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the last few days I have been re-reading 1984<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is a novel that I first came across at school <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Each time I read it I can see how the world <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Outside of my window is changing <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This makes me cross as I want to change things <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But at present I am a useless cripple <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Who is lucky not to be in a wheelchair <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have recently noticed that people who I used to know <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Are avoiding me which I find rather confusing <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It feels that they have vanished without trace<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or maybe I have joined the ranks of the disappeared <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In an hour my nurse will arrive to check me out <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Her name is Julia although I call her Miss Worthing <\/p>\n\n\n\n
She often leaves me books which bore me <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As they have no substance <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Beginning\/Middle\/End <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We argue about it <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like old friends <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Swimming in different directions <\/p>\n\n\n\n
However she has promised me a novel <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That she has written herself <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I expect it to be chick lit or something as awful <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But I have been told it is something more substantial <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And that I am not the only one who can write well<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She has asked me to give her an honest opinion <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Which I will do treading very carefully<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are planning when I am fully recovered <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To go climbing as she shares my passion <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although Miss Worthing will ensure <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That I do not take any further flying lessons <\/p>\n\n\n\n
