Toenails

I used to expose my toes,
went walking without my clothes.
Then, I was bolder;
now, I'm much older,
and my skunky toenail shows.

Does everyone have a "skunky" toenail? In my family it's referred to as "Hankins toe." We all have it. Crazy! Enjoyed your poem, Terry. Incidentally, I like your new Avatar.
