The Agony of De Feet

The Agony of de feet

When I am afoot I fear for the fact
That my didgets will fidget
And I must react
My corns are like thorns
When the pressure is great
The bunion’s no funion 
My toenails ingrown
With all this pain I can loudlly state
I must buy large shoes
 To give me some space 
to rid me of this winged tip fate

OUCH and sadly I can relate as I had to see the doc today about a split in my big toe and have to be careful it doesn't turn into an ingrowing toenail, wearing ill fitting shoes can wreak havoc with our tootsies!:-) hugs Jan xx
