Dear Big Toe


Dear Big Toe,

Why are you just like a thumb?

But uglier,

You sit like a stub,

I really do not like you,

You big ugly nub,

You remind me of insecurities,

that only I can see,

I must keep you hidden,

You  on my foot,

Knobby like a great oak,

Under socks and shoes,

No one can see,

To make matters worse there's two of you,

Four when I cross my eyes,

The worse part is,

I can't get rid of you,

You help me walk,

You keep my balance,

You are a like hand but connected to my ankle,

But big toes are not opposable,

So you are not skilled at picking up what I drop,

You can still do it though,

So I am not too upset,

Thank you big toe,

Love me
