"IN MY SHOES"

they heard of my malaise, the one that had me amputated I no longer have to run errands neither can I stand up to anyone they heard that I no longer have feet and they promised to visit one came with a football and challenged me to a match another brought jogging shoes "we got a race in a fortnight, we ought to practice" another, in the middle of a tale turned to look at me and said, " put yourself in my shoes, you would have done the same" all I do is face the floor where my feet used to stand and wonder if his shoes would fit
