Old Slew Foot was a Corporal in the army
on the battlefield he seen that so alarming
Oh! slew foot had a prosthetic
when he put it on he would walk run even dance he felt lit
not pathetic
~
Old Slew Foot walk the mile
he co-created a blessed child
Old Slew Foot was sleeping in a chair
because all he had left in him was one leg and a prayer AMEN

Old sleuth foot such a character an old veteran with one leg yet he still happy ~ Old Slew Foot with a gorilla chest he smelled of menthol from his breath Oh! slew foot was quite tall he can stand on his one leg problem but never fall ~ Old Slew Foot was a Corporal in the army on the battlefield he seen that so alarming Oh! slew foot had a prosthetic when he put it on he would walk run even dance he felt lit not pathetic ~ Old Slew Foot walk the mile he co-created a blessed child Old Slew Foot was sleeping in a chair because all he had left in him was one leg and a prayer 11/16/23 Written words by James Edward Lee Sr 2023
