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...

Lol too cute

Very much enjoyed the simplicity of this, there is a lot for everyone to relate to in this and the ending made me chuckle. Best Keith

It was nice how the rhythm of the words matched what was happening in the story.
