Analysis of When I Can't Find My Feet
It's "one of those days" again
Just like the ones before.
I've noticed how they all begin
And this is just one more.
On some days I have two left feet,
If I find them at all,
Which makes it hard to stop and greet
Someone before I "fall".
With foot in mouth, I might offend
A few along the way,
That's why I do try to amend
And lose naivete!
