An Epic Feat II - The Sequel "Thought From A Legless Bard"
I find it difficult to stomp on anything
I can only stamp when posting a letter
My feet never touch the ground
I can’t hitchhike unless I have a tow rope
Perambulation would definitely involve the use of a large pram
At times I feel the need to take steps
I don’t do stairs but I do, do stares
My gait has rusted shut
I cannot tramp through the woods, but I am a tramp in the woods
Even caged animals get to pace up and down
I really wish I could stretch my legs
My stumps are haunted, phantom pains in evidence
I tried the high jump, only managed to head-butt the pole
I have empathy and understanding for French frogs
How many of me does it take to change a light bulb - None I can’t reach!
As a gangster, I am a wheelman
Other people scuttle, I glide like a ballerina
Being a man of principle have been known to take a stand
When suffering adversity it is impossible for me to get back on my feet
I rise up, but strangely on my butt cheeks
I am not walking on sunshine
Still I can never get trench foot or foot and mouth disease
It is insensitive to tall me to hop it
I go out, I don’t step out
The only tread I leave is a rubber tyre one
I could be a good burglar - no footprints left at the scene
Sure, but all means ask me up to dance, just don’t expect me to quick step
My least favourite month of the year is March
My least favourite season is spring
In my mind, I skip through meadows like an eight-year-old
I don’t gambol but I do gamble
I can only acid trip
I never stagger when I am drunk but I have been known to collide or crash
I even get turned down for servant job vacancies - I wanted to be a footman
The only thing I can kick is the bucket (Oh yeah and bad habits)
I can guarantee I will not trample you underfoot
I am not "Walking Back to Happiness", wompa. Oh yeah
Why is there a stairway to heaven and not a ramp?
I could still use an escalator, defined as a loose cannon or trouble maker
I am not counted as a retail customer because they count footfall
I can’t track people if they use the stairs
It is essential that I grip my joystick in public
I never "Tiptoe Through the Tulips"
It is not good to see me in pain and say "Just Walk it off!"
I used to be a tap dancer I just can get shoes that would fit
It is impossible for me to trip the light fantastic
I hate leap years
I sit down to samba
I never lose my balance or my footing
I never get accused of shuffling my feet, but I can do cards in a casino
I used to have a limp but it miraculously got cured
I don’t hobble but I can wobble or bobble
I am currently giving my feet a rest
I used to be a model on the catwalk
With R & B I am kicking it
Take three paces to the left. "Fuck off"
