On the other hand,
sliding on a smooth,
basketball floor,
can give you a burn,
painful like never before.

And for those few of you,
who have wrestled on a mat,
know that a mat burn,
can be where itŐs at.

Waterskiing without any skis,
with your butt or your feet,
sliding on water with ease,
Would probably burn your feet,
if the water wasn't so cold,
to cool condition any defeat.

But worst of all, if you would fall,
skateboarding, bicycling or,
at high speed on your motorcycle,
To hot blacktop or concrete below,
while riders wear leathers or pads,
to ease the blow or the slide.
Prevent broken bones, nasty scabs.

Moral:

Do not rub your partner,
the wrong way in word, deed or song.
Impression that you make,
May burn in memory very long.

Started writing something funny, and then
I realized that one can get burned by being
rubbed the wrong way.
