In the dead of night, I must flee

To the bathroom to take a pee
Standing up with joints creaking
Will I make it before I’m leaking?
On an errant shoe, I trip
Without anything near to grip
Down I go knees knocked-up first
No one’s home to hear me curse
Barely missing what I dread
Having the wall hit my head
That’s not all there’s more to rhyme
Because I have many stairs to climb
Alas if a misstep takes place
Up or down on my staircase
Long ago I’ve lost any grace
Terrified I’ll end up on my face
Exiting my car in a parking lot
Will I trip over a concrete block
If perchance another driver isn’t gazing down
They might not see me face down on the ground
The very least I could be bruised
Without a doubt I’d be confused
On my insurance dare I claim
That I’m not the one who should be blamed
Truthfully, I don’t care who’s at fault the lot or driver
I’m grateful to emerge a viable survivor
When it rains, and I’m not inside
Must I swallow what’s left of pride
Choosing shoes with a skid resistant tread
Better looking old than being dead
The opportunities of falling are too numerous to mention
The moral of the rhyme is it’s best to pay attention
