Sleeping Foot-y

I sit

on my foot

at the kitchen table

while I do my homework. 

After a while,

I shift

in my seat

trying to get my bottom

 into a more

comfortable

position. 

I can't. 

So I slide my foot

out from under

my rump. 

At first

I have no feeling

in my foot. 

I jiggle,

wiggle,

tap it. 

Nothing. 

Then suddenly

pins and needles

attack. 

My every movement

brings

prickles

and

pain. 

I hold my breath

until

the stabbing passes

and

my foot

feels like my foot

again.

Note to self...don't sit on foot.
