Definition: An unexpected event with negative consequences occurring without the intention of the one suffering the consequences.
Alright class, settle down and letâs take a look,
At this word âaccidents,â letâs learn it in its nook!
The dictionary gives us a helpful guide,
A fancy definition, let's step inside.
It says âAn unexpected event, a surprise you see,
With negative consequences â woe is me!â
And crucially, it adds with a thoughtful plea:
âWithout the intention of the one whoâs suffering, you agree?â
Letâs break that down, nice and slow,
'Unexpected'
means it wasn't planned, you know.
âNegative consequencesâ
â things that arenât quite bright,
Like a stumble, a scrape, or a disappointing plight.
And
âwithout intentionâ
is the key, my dears,
It wasn't meant to happen, fueled by no fears!
Think of dropping your ice cream cone, itâs true,
You didn't
want
it to fall, that's sadly true.
Or a fender bender on the road so wide,
A bump and a scrape â where do we hide?
So 'accidents' mean things that happen unplanned,
Leaving us feeling sad, or perhaps a little tanned! (From a tumble, of course!) đ
