My Big Toe

Have you ever wondered
Why your big toe is big?
Does it help with balance
While doing the jig?

Can you imagine
If all toes were large?
It would seem like walking
On a very large barge

Strange how everything
Seems the right size
Cause what if your arms
Were as big as your thighs?

Big toes are great
For testing your bath
Or counting to ten
To help with your math

One thing's for certain
They're just the right size
For stirring your soup
Or tying bow ties

This poem's for a friend
A new star in my sky
Sure hope she will like it
It's my very best try!
