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!

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 :)
