My Best Foot Forward



Sometimes I think my two left feet
Might walk in step before
The next time when someone I meet
Won't see me on the floor!

Sometimes I get cold feet when I
Attempt to walk barefoot;
Afraid that even though I try
To stand where feet are put.

Perhaps I'll walk and not step on
My toes right when I'm seen;
Embarrassment is never gone
From memories so mean!
