Joseph Stalin's Left Foot

Joseph Stalin had webbed toes
On his left foot or so it goes
He was embarrassed by this so bad
When a doctor examined him, he was sad
Covering his whole body with a blanket
So he wouldn’t have to face the fact of it
In those days it was a sign of the devil
This fact seemed a self-fulfilling prophecy ill.
