Perils of The Playground

A sentinel of students, I walk the playground.
A football ricochets off brick wall and blackens my eye
Air ball from heaven bloodies my nose
Targeted snowball explodes off my back
PM Bus duty: Caring mom warns,
“Did you know diesel gas fumes are carcinogenic?”
I walk away from the bus.
sounds to me like you have done the right thing by quitting that old job was hard on your health barbering is alot better for you
ReplyDeleteCheri, I'm not sure if I switched to a safer job.
ReplyDeleteThe Perils of Barbering.
Snipping fingers with shears, ouch that really hurts
slipping on upswept hair,
tripping on vinyl matts.
cutting self or others with razor.
dry, peeling, cracked hands & fingers from washing so often
falling out the chair while napping
breathing hair spray
looking in the mirror at oneself all day ( hard on psyche)
