The Ballad of Pain

The Ballad of Pain

By: Samuel Hammock

Upon my merry way one day

To do some simple task

The most unwelcome thing occurred.

“What happened?” You might ask.

I'll tell you my sad sorry tale,

But first I wish to warn

That such a sad calamity

Can cause a heart to mourn.

A familiar flight of stairs

My footsteps did descend,

Steering me, unwittingly,

To an untimely end.

The floor my feet traversed with ease

And then did I follow.

Indeed, away from one’s own feet

One should not try to go.

Down the hall my path was laid,

Across the lam'nate boards.

To my bedroom, my body then

Was happily restored

I wish this was the story’s end

And it's whole course was run,

But with misfortune it must stop

When all is said and done.

My right foot felt the carpet soft

That lies within my room.

My left, eager to follow suit,

Spelled its own certain doom.

Beneath it's sole, the neurons fired,

Sent signals to my brain.

The grey matter, with swiftness great,

Gave its response of pain.

Such agony was ne'er endured

In history of man.

Undoubtedly, I victim was

To vile design or plan.

The pain that Julius Caesar felt

As spoke he his last words

Could not equate to what below

My foot had just occurred.

When Vader said “I am your dad.”

And poor Luke lost his hand,

Such tragedy, compared to mine,

To me seemed rather bland.

At Hastings when King Harold took

An arrow in the eye,

His final shout could not drown out

My own foot's desp'rate cry.

The pain receded gradu'lly

As if it did intend

To hold me there, immobiliz'd

Until the bitter end.

My mind began to wonder what

Could cause such suffering.

The answer was beneath my foot,

Slowly recovering.

I lifted then my wounded limb.

Beneath it I did spy

The most appalling image that

Did ever meet my eye.

Just how it came to be there I

May never understand

Unless by some ill trickery

This “accident” was plann'd.

I could have sworn I moved them all.

They were not underfoot,

But in the light of these events,

My protests appeared moot.

But as these thoughts rushed through my head

Like snowflakes, soft and quick,

Lay on the floor my conqueror,

A single

Lego

Brick.
