{b:}HANG ON TO THE GLASSES!

While hiking in the forest by myself, one day--
I leaned over a stream to watch the minnows play!

I felt my only glasses drop; I couldn't catch
them as they floated away! I did not attach

them to their safety-holder as I often do,
and so I wandered off half-blind to miss the goo

one lands in when one accidently slips and falls
while sightless and maneuvering the slimy waterfalls!

I comforted myself with "I'm only half-blind"
but then the thunderstorm began: it blew my mind!

The threat of getting wet made me find my cell phone
to called my friends for help, 'cause I was there alone!
