I have to confess
I wasn't up to anything new
When I left for the school run
Although it's never much fun
Everything was normal
But as I bumped down the step
I didn't see any obvious threat
To my back
There was a sudden internal crash
An immediate debilitating flash
Of crippling pain
I rang for some help
As every step made me yelp
But it was to no avail
I had to take the boy to school
It's one of the rules
He gave me a hug
Getting home I was crippled
The pain totally rippled
I collapsed at the top of the stair
My back is in spasm
The pain a black chasm
But with some rest it will mend
I can't stand up straight
So I'll just have to wait
And hope it doesn't take long
