My only sport was climbing trees
But, oh no, I fell to my knees
Some ball games were fun
Specially in the sun

But, oh no, I fell to my knees
Some ball games were fun
Specially in the sun
Until I got stung by ?

But sometimes I fell on my rump
My poor derriere
Was in need of care

But sometimes I fell on my rump
My poor derriere
Was in need of care
As it developed a big lump.

I rode my bike around Devon

Up loads of hills, six or seven

Up loads of hills, six or seven

Up loads of hills, six or seven
Alas, coming down
I fell, with a frown
First time since I was eleven

It's said pride comes before a fall

GoldenLady Wed 09-Feb-22 21:02:08

It's said pride comes before a fall
Or bike-riding up on a wall

Juliet27 Thu 10-Feb-22 07:09:07

It's said pride comes before a fall
Or bike-riding up on a wall
But the risks we take

henetha Thu 10-Feb-22 10:52:06

It's said pride comes before a fall
Or bike-riding up on a wall
But the risks we take
Can make us, or break

GoldenLady Thu 10-Feb-22 15:12:46

It's said pride comes before a fall
Or bike-riding up on a wall
But the risks we take
Can make us, or break
It's worth taking a risk, all in all.
