On being Impaled

An ode to the stick,
to the needle that did prick,
the pinky of my toe,
oh so nearly thru the webbing it did go.
Perhaps that makes me a
Ninny Needler,
or a Needled Ninny,
I am not so sure.
It is fine, if you are dying to know,
but there is now a hole underneath my pinky toe.
A size seven DPN!~just so you know.
Darn that stupid bed, that needed to be made that night,
and darn that stupid needle that gave me such a fright.
A needle, I thought, may not be such a welcome sight
night after night.
Oh what a fright
oh what a night,
but not even a tingle of pain,
did make me wain.
For there was none making me fain.
