Ankles are so dear to me
Yet go unrecognized
Connecting my shins to my feet
Since I have been alive

They're flexible and curvey
They're a cousin to the wrist
Without them we'd walk on our knees
Then surely they'd be missed

Overshadowed by the face and butt
Shoulders, waist and abs
Even cankles get the spotlight when
Fat ankles blend with calves

Ignored until they twist or spreign
From sports or exercising
I don't consider gauze to be
True accessorizing

An anklet's fine, but can't compare
To a wristwatch, scarf or glasses
G-string's...much more common
Just to decorate our a**es

The point is, in the ankle world
We're seeking more supporters
Without them we'd be missing out
And several inches shorter.
