Oh, No. The Toe! (short poem)


Getting out of the swimming pool today, I knocked my middle toe on my right foot funny.  No, I'm not sure how I did it.  I just kind of stubbed my toe really, really hard.

My toe is the purple of lilac bushes in the spring.  

My toe hurts like a son of a gun.  

My toe is swollen like a Hostess Twinkie.  

I think I can say, with complete candor, that I have "toe-li-o."
