The Shock
The bulb in the lamp
Above my bed was broken.
And without even thinking,
I reached into the socket.
My hands touched the wires,
Voltage flowed through my fingers.
A small pop and then a yelp,
As pain went down my body.
Is this how it feels
To be electrocuted?
Or have I reached the age where
It hurts to change the lightbulbs?
last 2 lines made me laugh! Nice work.
