BUNION

Farewell to a bunious hump
A most incovenient lump
Whose ample proportions
Made ugly distortions
To sandal or boot, shoe or pump.

Sing ho for the skill of the team
Whose craft and kind, touch make us beam
Improving foundations
By deep excavations
With hammer and chisel and seam.

So thanks to the courteous crew
Who knew just what they had to do
I'll trip light fantastic
On joints much more plastic
Speedily — thanks to you.

I'll find can dance on thin air
As time can complete the repair
And the merciful treatment
Of bonework on feet meant
Her foot is now straightened and fair.
