slippery

the first time my friend
dave
went skiing he fell
as he jumped off the lift,
slipping on the hard slope,
dislocating
his shoulder.
he never skied and inch
down the hill.
a helicopter came up
to carry him
to a hospital.
the shoulder was never
the same.
I've been trying to figure
out if there
is a moral to this story
for decades, but
can't come up with one.
although I've never gone
skiing.
