Clay if you may!
My feet are made of clay
Dare I say,
One of these days
They will start walking away.
From nine months
My mum used to say.
They never stopped
To this day.
These feet are made for walking,
Even over hard London clay.
Tell me now
Shall I go or should I stay!
I have been always slow of mind,
I will be indecisive till the day
That I might finally call it another day.
