Footloose and Footless
FOOTLOOSE AND FOOTLESS
Children just don’t remember they’ve got feet
And deliberately fall, giggling - it’s sweet
Treading the leaves in gutter here:
It don’t hurt to fall on your rear.
Bursting handfuls of big yellow leaves -
Oh, what a collection-pattern it weaves:
Red, orange with spots of lavender -
Love-given bouquet for indulgent mother.
Look in the mirror but it’s not you;
The real you is inside you :
Nothing to do with rears or feet.
Being three years old is so neat.
