Free Hands
by steelie
Now, here’s a little story
about why I haven’t been there.
It holds a little PK lesson,
which is why I thought I’d share.
This tale of absenteeism,
begins en route to work.
Between my car and office,
a certain trap did lurk.
I try to trace each morning
to keep the senses ready.
But on this faithful morning,
me, sadly, not so steady.
I ran along a three-foot wall
as many times before,
and when I reached the end
I jumped and tried to soar.
So, here began the problem with
the bag on my left shoulder,
the strap across my body,
the right hand gripped to hold ‘er.
I landed, let’s say, oddly,
and as gravity will tell,
I tried to save the ship my friends
but yup, I tripped and fell.
I’ve been here many times before
and dove and tucked and rolled.
Although I had full trust in me,
Right Hand would not un-hold.
So, onto my right shoulder
my weight came crashing down,
Right Hand could not prevent
the awful crunching sound.
And now I’ve missed three weeks,
I still might be a while.
Thankfully, nothing’s broken
So I can’t help but smile.
I learned a priceless lesson
to help my zig and zag,
Now when I practice Parkour,
I skip the shoulder-bag.
Yes, now I have a backpack,
I runs, I jumps, I lands.
Now here’s the moral boys and girls:
“Free-runners need free hands”.
:^)
I hope to be out again soon.
Save me a spot. Cheers.
Nice poem. I wish I had your creativity!

Thanks.
I had actually missed a few weeks due to the injury but hadn’t had the opportunity to let the other traceurs (PK practitioners) know why. When I went to send the email, the first couple of sentences started to rhyme in my head and the rest came quite easily… The funny thing is that I can never write like this when I want to, only when I don’t set out to.

That was such a nice poem! OOO! I liked it.
Nice, is that true? what happend, if it is, that must ave sucked.
@blacklight: Thanks! It started out as just an email as to why I had been missing in action but certain things started to rhyme and I just went with it.
@G-MAN: Yeah… true story. And yeah, it did suck. I couldn’t do Parkour for a while. Even when my shoulder overall felt fine, doing any kind of parkour really put strain on it.
Great Poem I loved it 😀 Keep it on
