Mr Mccheesy Feet

Mr McCheesy has large feet
wears size 40 shoes, no simple feat
plip! plop! thud! phud!
was all you could hear
miles before he would appear

Many would hide to hold themselves safe
not wanting his cheesy feet near their face
many scorned, poked fun, gave retreat
all ran and hide, but never to seek

Mr McCheesy felt alone in despair
for he truly felt no one did care
mock him, tease him, laugh did they
each time he passed anytime of the day

One darkened morning 
a fierce storm came calling
torrential rain lashed heavily down
ground gurgling, mud pouring
all ran, found cover, all prayed
 
When all was calm was plain to see
the devastation they did not forsee
disbelief, shock an all forlorn 
wheat and corn was all gone
sodden wet mud laid bare openly
mangled limbs from drowned trees

Roads now broken, buried in ground
how was they going to travel around?
stuck, cut off from outside life
they knew to be in heavy strife

In distance a familiar sound echoed flew
splish splosh splush vibrated through 
Mr McCheesy the man with large feet
pounding down the ground skillfully neat

Creating a road solid and sound
for everyone to convey around
feet echoing sounds they once did fear
now welcomed with loud roaring cheers

Lone warrior working his large feet
In rhythms of phuds and splats
Mr McCheesy on hearing their claps
spurred on reclaim land to reap
 
Added cheers erupted, boomed loud and clear
"you've made the horror disappear
Mr McCheesy you've saved the day
hip! hip! hooray! hooray!"

From that day forward none laughed at him again
ashamed and guilty of their bullying and pain
for he was their hero he saved the day 
a statue was erected in his grand name

We are all unique with qualities of difference 
some dont see, only show of their ignorance
god gave to us for reasons unknown
were all different it is often shown
but the devil he teases and tempts with his sin
turns us into imbeciles and cruelty sets in

If ever your teased to having cheesy feet
remember the tale wrote above
cheesy feet who saved that day 
gave so much and forever his love
