Heel!

I never could wear high heeled shoes

I'm too much of a klutz

They make my legs look sexy but

I look like such a yutz!

I waver and I wobble

I stagger and I stumble

And if by chance I take the stairs

I'm sure to take a tumble!

I know they'd make me stylish

And they sure look perty

But I'm not built for high heeled shoes

My ankles are not sturdy!

But still I keep a pair or two

In my closet on the floor

Because they come in handy

For a certain type of chore

A popped nail in the drywall

And I don't look for a hammer

I grab a high heeled shoe 

And bang that sucker in with glamour!
