Phobia
One day while out walking
His left foot started talking
Within the space of one week
It was spouting in Classical Greek
Kept him awake that long night
Trying to converse with the right
Thermal socks failed to muffle
that dread voice
Leaving him with
only one unenviable choice
To save his sanity
before it was too late
A do it yourself kit
to amputate
So great his need
He did the deed
He survived but lives in fear
That one day he will hear
Whilst out walking
His right foot starting talking
