Feet (after Wayne Hogan)

Feet (our means of propulsion) fuel 
The scoot the sprint the shuffle ambling
Toward or away. Feet by no means effete
Include the 23 bones and 33 
Joints plus in excess of a hundred muscles 
Tendons that can carry us or support 
Our sometimes putting them up like dukes 
Only with the opposite effect
And the pretty nails whether male or female 
Preen along the top of the toes that pose
For us as we take the weight away from 
Our legs hips back likely long before 
We hit the sack as the saying goes 
Not disclosing how we spent this day
