Tired Feet

Tired Feet

How many times
do ya' look at your feet.
Be they young or old
or pedicured so neat.

Some smell very nice,
some not so good.
Look at em' twice,
ya' know ya' should.

They've walked for miles,
brought fortune and fame.
Tread straight and narrow
and followed our brain.

In all shapes and sizes,
extra large to very small.
They make ya' realize,
they're important to us all.

We make them look nice
with fancy leather shoes.
We prop em' up high
and lay down for a snooze.

They're the first on the floor
as we get out of bed.
They'll hurt and be sore
when we aimlessly tread.

So be kind to your feet
and give em' a break.
After a walk in the street,
let em' a soak in the lake.
