I've been advised to walk backwards, and sideways
in order to improve my balance, and gait
I always avoided PEOPLE watching me walk
'cos it's never been normal, not even straight .
Backwards, sideways, on the beach
but only when I'm on my tod
'cos if too many PEOPLE actually see me
they'll be talking together, saying I'm odd .
It's essential that I do it, said the specialist man
so I'm persevering with it, a bit each day
I go out of view, or 'PEOPLE' will laugh at me
and white-coated ones might carry me away.
