...jumped across the beds
didn't stick his landing,
and fell upon his head.
Mama called the doctor,
and said with some alarm,
"I think our little Charley
has broken his left arm."
Doctor looked at Charley
took big pictures too,
and said sure enough, but
its not quite clean in two.
Charley got wrapped up in
a splint from elbow to hand
and came home exhausted
asleep, in bed, to land.

About one week later,
another Dr. to see,
his arm is getting better,
a smaller cast will be,
the perfect size for Charley,
to cover his left wrist,
with soccer balls all over
the top choice on the list.
Little Charley is fine,
a busy active boy,
a trial for his parents,
(who also brings great joy).
(Charles broke his arm Sept. 23, should get the cast off Oct. 22, just fine except he can't take baths like he wants to. As if my month wasn't already crazy enough....)

Oh my goodness is he all right? Did he really break it jumping on the bed?
I love your poem, I didn't know you could write poetry.
you know, ethan broke his leg (lower third of tibia) last january. he was in a cast all the way up to his groin....right leg. it was wretched. we had to wrap him in a garbage bag for bathtime. i thought i had it bad until my friend's so broke his right femur and was in a cast which included his entire bum...and he wasn't poty trained yet! my heart goes out to you. love the prose!
Awww. Poor Charley, hope that he starts to feel better. Casts are no fun. Just wait till it starts to itch!
