Toes (Free verse) by BadPoet
TOES
I'm glad I've got toes
Two rows
Of five, just enough.
It sure must
be tough
On those
With a 'six' and a 'four'
Or two dozen or more.
.
They're best at the front
Not the side
Of the foot
Which would then be
too wide
And beside
That your shoe
Would look funny on you.
.
They're
no use perched high
on the instep
Or by
Themselves,
Spaced all around
And an inch off
The ground.
.
If all on one foot they'd
Been put
Nicely displayed
But ....
With design so misguided
We'd look
Very
lopsided.
.
I'm glad they are there
Just where
My foot stops
A toe pops
Out, with four spare
I've
A total of five.
.
