The Crooked Toed Dancer

Here's another poem that could be true So pay attention now here it goes This is a story about a crooked man Who had some very crooked toes Some people said it was bunions But that was just the way he was born Everytime he'd wear shoes or socks They'd always end up torn And it didn't matter how hard he tried He just couldn't walk a straight line He even tried to tie his toes straight Using a couple pieces of twine One foot always pulled to the left While the other went to the right He just never knew where he'd end up And it really was quite a sight No one knew why he was born that way Maybe just a victim of circumstance Tho he was never able to walk a straight line That dude could really dance People would come from miles around Just to see the crooked toed dancer He'd shimmy to the left then shimmy to the right He was really quite the prancer Well, I guess that's the end of this tale And the reason I wrote it, well, who knows I just wanted to tell you a story About a man with crooked toes

Awesome story. Very descriptive and comical Not really my place to knock this guy since I have two left feet when it comes to dancing. Oh well, have a good one, Buddy. ...Ralph
