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

This one hurt me to my sole, through in some neuropathy, and welcome to my world, good one Ralph...

Thank you, Charlie: You always manage to throw something in (sole) at the end of each comment (ha ha)

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
