The Truth, After All!

It was true after all!
T’was heading for a fall.
I tried so hard,
To no avail
It was true after all!

It was true after all:
I headed for my fall.
Fell out of bed
And hit my head
--a true fall after all?

But once I had my fall,
It was true after all
That when I hit,
It didn’t split—
So, was it a true fall?

I went to the ER,
Just to be sure the fall
Did not damage
my precious head!
Not TRUE fall, after all!
