My arm is in a sling...

Having recently lost a fight with a wheelie bin, ended up having my thumb nail off!

My arm is in a sling!

My arm is in a sling~

Was attacked by a wheelie bin!

Am incapacitated

And very aggravated

By the cumbersome plastic thing.

My thumb nails' been taken away,

The house is in disarray.

Can't scratch my bum

Because of my sore thumb,

Can't even use the underarm spray!

Ain't feeling none too pleased,

(Mixed with my flesh are some mushy peas)

But my thumb got stuck

Shouted "damn and fuck"

But the lid, by then made its' seize!

Am having problems washing my bits

And putting a bra upon my tits,

At night I do fidget

All because of this digit

And am traumatised out of my wits!

I do not want to alarm

But only have use of one arm!

Can't shave my leg hair

And armpits - don't go there!

Am trying to stay very calm.

Don't want to make a fuss

But feeling a little bit crushed,

Can't begin to cook

Or read a book,

Or even get friendly with lust!

It isn't every day

A bin makes you feel this way,

So to the council of Sussex West

I'm not at my best

You've got a lot to answer for today!
