On a foot I rest, as my person races
But they fall in tangled laces.
“It’s the shoelaces fault”, they cry in fear
Though they never tied me, not once, oh dear.
I didn’t cause harm, I did nothing wrong,
Yet blamed for the fall, where I don’t belong.
Angry I am, in this mess,
Just a shoelace feeling such distress
