NETTLE RASH

NETTLE RASH

I should have seen the nettles
before I waist-high waded in
to snatch a blossom from the wall:
                                      my gift to you.

How rash, both act and consequence!
incessant itching in the loins
presaging blistered pain and abstinence:
                                      your gift to me.

Memories of Sliding down a mud slicked

Embankment for a stuffed animal and the groin injury that followed ...oh the stuffed animal molded on one side ...me I walked like I wasn't hurt at all.the lesson learned had I made note that being macho is for when guys are around ...I could have been Nursed....those moments are test...not multiple but true or false. In ink, Dabbler
