161 - Cut

Have you ever had a cardboard cut?

I have, it really rather hurts

Think about a paper cut

Only one thousand times worse

I took a chunk out of my thumb

Whilst folding this old box

I guess it was the friction

It caused me such a shock

So just be careful when you try

To tidy your abode

It’s perilous - this living lark

And this bloody episode
