My 'never mind'

As I was cycling along Suddenly something went wrong

I found it hard to disguise That I was caught by surprise As something came from behind Stung me on my ‘never mind’

It caused quite a lot of pain As composure tried to regain

At work I asked ‘bout first aid And one suggestion was made That I use running water But there I shouldn’t oughta (I should note here, to be fair I’d not told them it was where)

So all day tingly and numb Was the feeling on my bum
