ODE TO MY LITTLE TOE
My littlest toe, has always been so cute.
It is always pink and perky
Too perfect to cover with a boot
But lately the piggy on the right foot
Has forgotten its way
It wants to go on vacation to town
Taking a different route
Making me yell
OUCH! OUCH! OUCH!
All the way there and home
The one on the left is still my friend
I polish its nail again and again
It is quiet, it does not groan
So nice and helpful
Never a moan
But the one on the right foot
Won't allow me to cover it with a boot
It has decided to travel a different route
It is kind of twisty now.. not a bit cute
I still love my littlest toe..
please understand
But now that it is jealous of the piggy next to it
Wanting to cross over it and discover new land
I no longer think it is all that grand
It has even changed its name
I am full of woe
It is now called "hammer toe"
Oh what happened to the name "Billie"
Or even "Billie Joe Toe"
Its nail looks just awful
With polish all aglow
Showing itself to be wandering
Too and Fro
.Maybe if I were to get it a nail file too
It would stop trying to run away
Maybe it would not be so blue
And maybe
Just maybe...
It will mend its meandering ways
And spend its time with the file
Making me really smile...
Instead of hammering
the nerves in my entire foot
And I would stop cussing it
Cause helping it find its true course again
Is gona cost a lot of loot!
