I'll Do Anything! Just Don't Take My Ankle!
Walk the walk
Without it, I can’t.
Talk the talk
Without it, I shan’t.
We all have one.
Actually, two!
A gift for fun.
And shuffling, too!
Can you guess?
Can you really?
I bet yes.
We need it dearly.
Rhymes with mangle.
Did you figure?
It’s an ankle!
When hit, it’s bigger.
I was hit.
It was sprained.
Wasn’t lit.
My days rained.
Walk?
I couldn’t.
Talk?
I shouldn’t.
The things I love
Became obsolete.
I look above
As I take a seat.
I think of the gym.
I think of my runs.
My days feel so dim.
I can’t work my buns!
I’m stuck in my bed
And big scary crutches.
It’s not in my head
This is what my crutch is.
I need to recover.
I miss my poor feet.
A kiss from my mother
The boo-boo retreats.
Now I know
Forevermore
The sorry woe
Of one ankle sore.
