toddling

[tomoffing]

Two steps,
four-
three steps--
one more.
Uh-oh-
FLOOR!
A graze on the knee
cause for a scream?
swift look around
no sympathy found
no use in a cry
here goes another try.

Four steps,
two--
one step-
a loose shoe,
wobbLE..
POOH!
Same damn knee
stupid dungarees
the fit's appalling
no wonder I'm falling
Right. Up. Let's get this done
I'll show that Mum!

One-two-three,
W-wait--
whooaa
Fivesixseveneight
AH!!
Safety gate!
That's it! I've had enough
this walking thing is tough!
Time to get fed
then a spell in bed...
Where is that woman?
This isn't a spa
...wwwwwaaaahhhhhh...
