While I was walking down the street
I came upon a sewage heap
All the sudden I had to know
If i were to plunge below,
Would I know all that I wanted to know?
I jumped down quickly and landed with a smack
Then began to float on my back
Instead of seeing the clothes and faces,
I saw the footprints left in their places.
Only then did I see
Alas, I held the key:
After we do all we can
Only our footprints stand
And as i peered at this new show
I knew all i needed to know.
