Trying to Touch My Nose (with my toes)

Trying to Touch My Nose (with my toes)
by Ruth Martin-Maude

My mother said, "You shouldn't."
Dad said, "You might fall."
My Brother bet I couldn't.
I said, "I'll show you all."

I steadied on my right
Bent my left leg at the knee.
Then lifted my foot up straight
Very care-ful-ly-y-y.

I guess I lost my balance
And landed in a heap.
"Someone call an ambulance!"
I heard my mother weep.

Doctor, help me please!
Will you pull out my toes?
I fear I have to sn-e-e-eze
and they're stuck right up my nose!
A- A- A- A-CHO!
They're Out!
