A long time ago…
In the land of magic and spells…
There was an old wizard…
Who fell in love with a fair maiden…
And what he loved most were her dainty feet.
“If you marry me,” said the wizard,
“I will make you hundreds of shoes…
And decorate them with jewels...
From around the kingdom.”
But the maiden...
Could not imagine sleeping with the old wizard...
And she spurned his advances…
Holding out for a prince…
Or at least a young handsome nobleman.
The old wizard was so hurt and offended…
That he cast a spell on the maiden…
“May your feet and all your ancestor’s feet…
Be cursed till the end of time!”
And there you have it folks…
The reason why I and every member of my family…
Are klutzes! I’m not kidding!
We trip on anything and everything!
Even if there's nothing there!
It’s true!
In fact my feet are so good at finding and stepping on things…
I could hire them to the military…
To help find land mines.
They could just hoist and hover me…
Over an area of land…
And my foot would find the land mind…
But because I’d be safely dangling above it.
I wouldn’t step on it and blow up.
So?
Are you a klutz?
What’s your excuse?
Or do you ever think someone cast a curse on you?
Always, Em-Musing
