Trip Advisor

[Mark Hoffmann]

Trip advisor

My advice:
Don't stop and glare
and blame the hitch
like it was sentient
and waiting to get ya.

My advice:
Don't brazen it out
as if waking with a foot
strapped to your arse
is your normal gait.

My advice:
If you do fall
then do it well. Tuck a shoulder
forward roll
end with a flourish
     star jump.
          TADA.

My advice (five stars):
Pick your bloody feet up.

[Dansinger]

Great advice.

And not so hard to do once you've got the hang of it.

Mark H, star observer of human behavior. I admit I still am inclined, when I trip, to look back accusingly at the tree root that made me do it. Fun observation.

  from my part of the woods, we say it this way. If an old man trips, he looks back to see how he had come while a foolish youngster rushes ahead.....and possibly trips again.

I'd skip the star jump, but the roll is good ;-)  This advice is for life in general, not the construction of the poem.

Made me smile.
