ODE TO MY LITTLE TOE...
 THE SEQUEL..
SWEATIN' TO THE TOESIES
As my story of toe woe
Has already been told
Some time ago
About how odd the habits
Of my left little toe
And its ability to wander to and fro...
I will now tell of help for my littlest toe
Of a cure,
 found when I clicked "Go! Mr. Googles"
Help was on the internet
By the bunches
Nay.. by the kit and kaboodles!
The best simple home remedies
Were found at  Mayo
Nay, it was not on a sandwich
Between layers of bread!
Not that kind of Mayo 'at all!
Tis a place where magic happens
They can teach fallen little toes
To return home from the odd places they would crawl
They told me to not be so cruel
To throw out those high heel shoes
Not to be a fool!
They made this a strict rule
Those evil shoes are the reason
 For my littlest piggy to rebel
It was shoe toe abuse
 Which caused it to hit the toe trail
We didn't even have to call Dr. Phil..
 To get him to help figure out
No need for a pill..
Or a makeover by Robin
And that really different blonde guy
Who must send them a great big bill!!
Just a switch from Spigas to Dr. Scholls
Even if it does make my feet look like
My friend ..  Trouble Trolls
And some exercises for my little toes
 And this lovely gel filled Yoga Toes
Splint to wear while "Sweatin' to the Toesies"
Doing the marble pickup drills
On several occasions each day
No mercy is spared to my wandering piggy toe
As it does its dishtowel crunch ups
 Then without a break, nary a cup..
It is on to the marble pickup
Hustle little wandering toe
Grab those marbles!
Put them in a cup!
One Two Three ...
.Hup! Hup! Hup!
Even if the exercises can't cure Hammer the Toe
Even if Dr. Phil says it is all my fault
"Woman! Own that toe abuse!"
My littlest piggy
 And I have called a truce..
It is too tired to groan and moan now..
It is quiet and doesn't hurt me
If I decide to ask it to move
 Straight ahead ..
getting back into its old groove
It is content now to just flex like a happy toe
To sing in harmony with the rest of the set
It has changed its name back to Billy Joe
No longer is it my walking foe!

Getting all this internet Mayo help
Just made me want to holler and yelp!
I just may...
Someday....
Wear some Dr. Scholls boots...

And it didn't cost me a penny in loot!
 I need to open up email
Find out where Dr. Scholls' shoes come from
Cause without fail
Sure as I am telling this tale...
His shoes are in need of some

Yoga Toes Gel!
THE END
