I Now Know I'm Not A Trapeze Artist

I hired some scaffolding today

I cant believe how much it sways

I'm up here now above the cloud

To near the airplanes ....for crying out loud

I think I can here my knees a knocking

Or is it just the scaffolding rocking

How I wish I was on the ground

Being up here is too profound

My prognosis isn't good

Why am I standing up here on this wood

A trapeze artist I am not

Why am I up here what a clot

I cant believe how much I'm stuck

I really feel I'm out of luck

Now the wind is howling round my knees

And my hay fever is making me cough and sneeze

I really don't think this is a good idea

Dangling here in total fear

The light is beginning to fade quite fast

Perhaps I should release my grasp

No but hold on tight I really must

This scaffolding I cannot trust

I really am in a bit of a state

As I stand up here what is my fate

My mobile phone begins to ring

I try to answer it for my sin

I call out loud I'm really stuck

But I don't seem to be having any luck

Because suddenly I lose my grip

My mobile phone decides to slip

Right to the ground......I Swear ......oh flip.....

As I hang up here like a clown

I tell myself don't look up or down

A noise then trembles in my ear

A fire engine is nearly here

A sigh of relief ....I will soon be down

There saving me from a nervous breakdown

But to my shock it turned right off

Is the world giving me a telling off

For being up here and showing off

As I reavaluate my position

The light of day is in transition

My only friend is this bent old ladder

And I really want to relieve my bladder

When I thought everything was lost

A voice calls out of the dark and frost

What are you doing up there so late

I'm stuck up here

help me down please mate

I'm down at last this trauma past

My scaffolding mayhem gone at last

So take heed from me

You've read my plea

Stay on the ground don't trapeze like me
