a tale

Ýé Íåïîìíÿùàÿ
A toe said to toes:
«Well, everyone knows
That we stick together
No matter whatever.

Still, maybe you could,
And I think you should
Acknowledge my freedom,
As I’m an individuum».

Four pals were confused
And felt themselves used:
«We come as a pack
Down the slope and track.

In the woods, in a lake..
Man, give us a break.
You are not alike in size,
That’s why «great» you have, besides».

Not a word from a toe,
But never before
Were these five so wide apart.
That’s what makes high self-regard.
