My Feet

My feet just started growing big,
One day out of the blue,
And now I can just row my feet,
Instead of a canoe.

I often surf and ride the waves,
I also waterski,
And I go paddleboarding too,
No board—it’s only me.

One day I tried to ski on snow,
My feet did not suffice,
And by the time I ran the course,
My feet were blocks of ice.
