Twenty Steps To One

Twenty steps, I thinks not, The energy I have not got. Eighteen steps sounds a bit better Then again I must write a letter. Sixteen steps is perhaps achievable But my computer program is retrievable. Fourteen steps I may make for you, But you will have to make them too. Twelve steps, now we are getting somewhere But where that is I know not, nor care. Ten steps, yes I' ll think on that, But I have already walked the cat. Eight steps, now you are really talking But what shall I do while I am walking. Six steps, that sounds more real, But then again, how do I feel. Four steps I will think about But I think I hear a shout. Two steps, I think that's a dance, I really don't think there's a chance. One step and that's to bed, Activities there, you read my head.
