When the Ground Gives Way

 

Pops hit his ball badly

…into the cabbage patch and sighed

I saw it all happen

… so I went in, confident I had it eyed

But it’s not so easy

… the vegetation hiding all

So, a bit of searching

… then I find that errant ball

Next, I find no ground

… after just a step on my way out

In a flash I’m on my side

… certain I’ll be broken, I give a shout

Then I realize, I’m OK

… just embarrassed I had shouted “aye”

But, geez it’s scary to fall

… when the ground gives way!
