People with shoes that are narrow
Topple sideways and land on their ear.
Whereas people with shoes that are short
Fall on their face and sometimes their rear.
So no matter what size your feet are,
Buy sixteens, always extra wide.
And you’ll be stable and fast
Over distances vast
As they’ll enormously lengthen your stride.
