Sense Sonnet - Pumper

Just in Case

I am walking along to school,
Carrying my violin case.
Early band practice, that's the rule.
Not my favorite time and place.
About halfway through the crosswalk,
This car comes barrelling at me.
No time to move, my legs just lock.
I'm hit and knocked into a tree.
Just some little bruises and cuts.
The violin case took the hit.
Later, I'll prob'ly think I'm nuts,
But, I don't mind practice one bit.

I'm sure glad my violin
Was covered by that thicker skin.
