When Shoes Falter
'Bring me a fish with a pear in its mouth!'
The old orthodontist exclaimed
'And beef from the spit, and three mutton pies,
And various items, unnamed.'
And summon my wife from her home in the south
To gaze, one last time, in mine eyes.
Bring me a banjo - and let's have a song!
His wife made her breathless reply
I'll play something lively that we all know
So that gravity we'll defy...
As we leap in the air and sing along
To the tune of a stuffed carrion crow
