What a Trip by Kenn Nesbitt

I tripped on the sheets when I got out of bed.
I tripped on the stairs and I fell on my head.
I tripped on my pants when I tried to get dressed.
I tripped on my shoelace and injured my chest.

I tripped on a crack in the sidewalk this morning.
I tripped on a tree root without any warning.
I tripped on a curbstone while walking to school.
I tripped at the park and I fell in the pool.

I tripped on my backpack. I tripped on my bike.
I tripped on my train set. I tripped on my trike.
I tripped on my camera. I tripped on my cat.
I tripped on my baseball. I tripped on my bat.

I haven’t got money to go on vacations.
I may never see other cities or nations.
If I didn’t trip I’d go nowhere at all,
but this way, at least, I take trips every fall.
