My Feet

scrumptious and delightful!

I have a little toe

that doesn't know how to grow.

And even if it knew

It wouldn't be able to.

'Twas born without a knuckle,

so never has it bent.

The doctors tried to fix it

so to the hospital I went.

Pins of metal were inserted

Causing me great pain,

But nothing compared to the playground jabs

"Monkey Foot" being my name.

I grew up and one day chose

to accept this little thing,

Now I say... with blushing pride...

BE YOURSELF, DON'T HIDE.
