Just Once Won't Hurt Just once won't hurt I used to think, before I went too far I thought I was invincible And tried to stop a car It hit me going thirty-five And sent me through the air Skidding down the road I felt my skin and muscles tear Blood escaped from every poor They thought that I would die "Just once won't hurt" rang through my head Don't listen to the lie!                                                                                Thal Dixon                                        Published first in                                        California Work World                                        February 1993                                        College and Career Publishing
