Sense Sonnet - Steamer

Progressively Worse

I had a fall, but I felt fine.
The nursing home got on my case.
So the decision was not mine.
The ER was to be the place
Where an ambulance would take me,
So that I could be all checked out.
That was nursing home policy.
I'm in the ambulance enroute,
When we are struck by a large truck.
I guess it could have been a train,
So I'm thankful for that good luck.
I don't feel fine though. I feel pain.

If I'd stayed at the home instead,
I'd be safe and sound in my bed.
