As a slight change from my poem-a-day posts, I am posting this song I wrote about a friend's accident last night. If I had the pictures I would post them too, but a a I don't, so I won't.

The tune is from a Frankie Valley song, December 1963 (Oh, what a night)

Watch the video bellow to hear the song.  The words aren't the greatest, but the tune is cool.

These are my lyrics:

March 1, 2013

By Melody Beerbower, Dedicated to Parker who received his first nosebleed after falling while sliding across a patch of ice.

Oh what a night,

Late one Friday after the study,

What a sight it turned out to be

As I remember, what a night.

Oh what a night,

You know it started as just a game,

But he was never gonna be the same.

What a mem'ry, what a night.

Oh I got a funny feeling when he slid 'cross the ice.

Thought I, as I was watching, "That can't feel to nice."

Oh what a night,

Blood was gushin', rushin' from his nose,

As he tried to keep it off his clothes.

Pinch it tightly, what a night.

Saw him go white like a snowman in December

Hurried him in the house, to his nose applying pressure.

Oh what a night

Oh I got a funny feeling when he slid 'cross the ice,

Good thing, we had Daniel with his expert advice.

Oh what a night,

Why'd it take so long to stem the flow?

See that mound of tissues grow and grow.

What a nose bleed, what a night.

We saw it drip like a glowing little ember.

Next time he slides on ice, I bet he will remember.

Oh what a night!

Fortunately, Parker and his sisters made it back home safely, and his nose is up and running once more.
