It doesn't hurt!

The burn on my wrist
looks worse than it is,
red and raw.

I should desist
from approaching ovens
with a bare paw.

Who doesn't love
an oven-glove?

I barely recall this happening, so slight was my brush with an oven shelf as I loaded a cold dish. Did the running-it-under-a-cold-tap thing, but obviously not for long enough. When I spotted the damage a day or two later, the sight really took me by surprise: it genuinely doesn't hurt. But I did apply Boots' antiseptic cream, and I have kept it exposed to the air. So there we are. It does look far worse than it is.

The only emergency about this is that it's gone dark at the end of a dreary, damp day, and I'd nothing to blip!
