Oops!

I was just eating lunch and our fridge broke
So I was sent to go get ice to keep the food from spoiling.
Along the way my eyes strayed from the roadway,
And I ran over a car.
A parked car.

Soon thereafter the tones dropped and my dad got the call,
Unknowing that I was the roll over accident down the street.
As he crested the hill he saw his first new vehicle,
On its side.

As he came down the road it was apparent he was in distress,
Was he worried that I was okay,
Was he worried that his truck wouldn’t run anymore?
Both.

As the whole ordeal went down
Our friends from the fire department and Tri-State showed up to help,
I was sitting in my dad’s truck in the A/C and they rolled the truck onto it’s wheels.
5 guys.

We all went home
And word got out.
That I was in an accident,
As the phone calls began to come in
I just turned my phone off
And fell asleep.

Everyone in my family had quite a long day,
Even though at this point in was only 1 o’clock in the afternoon.
My mom didn’t go back to work,
My dad and I stayed home from meeting that monday night,
And we all just had a relaxation day,
To think about what had happened.
