Bad luck

Rolling down a hill so fast
I hit a rock my body was cast.
Hitting the ground I thought I was dead
and then a bird pooped on my head
I ran and screamed and rolled around
got up ran and then fell down.
Walking back to my home so far
I tripped on a rock and got hit by a car.
In that car was a clown who laughed at me and stared me down.
By my leg was a rock I threw it at his head and it went "knock."
I ran straight home and took forty winks.
I woke up to my mom saying, "Hi,
I am glad today you did not die."
