When I was at ISU I had a classmate who showed up to class on crutches. When I inquired about what happened, she proceeded to tell me the story of how she was with a group of friends who were carrying her and she sprained her ankle when they set her down. I forget the exact details of the story, but it did inspire me to write a poem.
Paula falls into a pile of rocks
was she drunk this time I say not
But careless she was while carried in sway
when we put her down her legs just gave way
And what is to be learned by this gracious tale
not to wind up in jail when put on your socks
