Stumble Silly Feet

Stumble silly feet Never learned to walk right Fall easily even from a pebble Eyes bugging out Larger than the mind Oh poor silly feet When can you be Learning to be right Too many stumbles Not enough strengths Feet on the ground Eyes on the puddle Walk around it and pass without stumbling When it's too big to cross over Look for a way around Don't be stupid to jump An easy way for a broken foot Stumble silly feet Know when to walk right Easy comes easy goes A broken foot won't do Just another life lesson learned You stumble silly feet... Smile! Akkina R Downing 1-2-17

Enjoyed, Akkina, and it gave me a wide smile:) "Metaphorical Stumbling" is rather common in our life; not so bad if we do not cause much damage and then be able to pick ourselves up while learn something from it!! ~ Warm regards // paul

We stumble, we fall, all works in Nature's call. We find that to learn, our trials we must not spurn. For even before we learn to crawl, we seek to always know it all.. LOVE THIS GEM YOU HAVE CREATED MY FRIEND. Super 7.....

Reminds me of a song by the band, "Little Feat" called "Feats don't fail me now" Really a fun read, Akkina:)

I'll google the song to listen to and I'm very much happy you liked it, Daniel :) And might I invite you to read my short story "French fries are potatoes" under Funny :)
