Stupid Questions Funny Poem

I was walking the street

Lost in my own private mind.

To the ignorance around me

I was thankfully blind.

The car turned suddenly

Causing a horrible event.

As it swerved right into me

My ass, the fender did dent.

People gather around me

Screaming, “the ambulance is on the way.”

Then a fool leaned over

Asking, “Mister, are you okay?”

It was the dumbest of questions

As I passed out before an answer was given.

Then awaking much later

In an ambulance, I was driven.

The hospital was next

Where they said I’d be fine.

Days past uneventful

And I felt I might lose my mind.

Finally, the day had come

And I set out to leave.

But then something happened

I simply couldn’t believe.

As I walked quickly out the front doors

The kid yelled, “hello” from a tree up high.

Then down he went hard

In shrieks he did cry.

I ran to give him comfort

As he lay there in the dirt.

Then without thinking

I heard myself ask, “hey kid, are you hurt?”

I guess we all are the fool sometimes

With a stupid question to ask

So, when it happens to you, just laugh at yourself

Because it won’t be your last.
