I'm The Original Weekend Warrior
By RockyDean
Well I should have called a rooferlike my wife told me too,but I thought I could fixa few holes up in the roof.It just looked so easyI figured what's to know,will save a little moneykill two birds with one stone.Now I never thought a thingabout the roof being to steep,so I'll get to the storythat really happened to me.Yeah I put the ladder upand climbed up to the top,when I stepped from the ladderI started sliding off.The ladder kicked right outand fell backwards on the ground,and I was heading off the roofon my long fall down.I tried grabbing everythingfrom the chimney stack and all,I was screaming and clawingwhen the gutter broke my fall.Well there I was danglingand loosing my grip,I could feel the gutter pullingfrom out of the bricks.My whole life flashed before meforty feet up in the air,I heard the neighbors sayinghey look at Tim way up there.When my wife came out gripingas you might have guessed,screaming I told you to call a rooferand don't you make no mess.They put the ladder back upand finally got me down,my eyes as big a quarterswhen I got my feet on the ground.I was trying to shake it offwhen the fire trucks arrived,they asked me what happenedand if I was alright.Yeah I tried to save a buckcause I had all the tools,I'm the original weekend warriorbut roofing I wont do.
