Toes

Only heaven knows
Where this is going to go 
But have you ever stopped long enough 
To take a look at your toes 

The ones on the right 
The ones on the left 
How over time 
They all look so different 

While some seem smashed
Or is that smooshed 
Either way that you say 
Look at the way that they look

They do love to be free 
Fresh air makes them wiggle 
And when touched have the need 
To laugh out loud giggle 

Yet one look at my toes 
Shows they're bent out of shape 
If they had tongues to talk
Who knows what they would say 

With a tuft of hair in each center
Punk rock piggies at their best 
I decide as an after thought 
To paint each Mohawk red 

Told you only heaven knows 
Where this was going to go 
When I stopped for just a minute 
To look at my toes

Toes and hands we see often...We know who they are...if we saw our faces a little more often life would be different...All the best Mike
