What's Afoot

A session with my chiropodist Is an occasion not to be missed. We speak of recipes and cruise ships And other folks' relationships And pension plans and how to lose weight And allergies and things we hate And Christmas plans and hip replacements, And politics and financial statements, And things from childhood we remember, Like scaredy cats on the fifth of November And what it takes a woman to please And whether "feet" run in families. We talk of restaurants we have found And matters equally profound. Is vegetarian or vegan best And how to handle a telephone pest ? Am I a Remainer or for Brexit And what to do to try and correct it ? And what do we make of Donald Trump, A breath of fresh air or just a chump ? The whole world sorted in half an hour If Debbie and I were given the power. And when we've covered our highs and lows We'll even talk about my toes!
