Flippers

I know it's hereditary

Though it's kind of scary

These thumpers I call feet

Are becoming bigger than me

When I move

Or tie my shoes

I feel as if I'm gonna flip

Or trip

When I walk

Or try to talk 

It's like their running a race

Even when no ones around to chase

Their big and long

They are the shape of the ancient gong

As I walk down the narrow hall

I'm watching people as they fall

Down like dominoes - one by ones

Each one basically stunned

My mother always

Says

Don't dread those flippers - baby

They'll stop growing - maybe

Yeah, I know some kind of advice

I needed someone to really be nice,

So my aunt - big and bold

Told me something that wasn't cold

She told me I had a gift

Not to be sad with

I was unique

I no longer have to seek

Perfect I am not

I have big feet and I love them a lot
