Inanimate Object

Inanimate Object

Swish to the left,

Swish to the right,

Tappity, tap, tap.

I won’t come when you call,

I  won’t get up if I fall,

Tappity, tap, tap.

Don’t leave safety to chance,

Think of taking me in advance,

Tappity, tap, tap.

I can go very fast or slow,

I’ll let you know to step high or low,

Tappity, tap, tap.

 When I’m broken into three,

I can be stowed swiftly,

Tappity, tap, tap.

I can be used in the city or on a country lane,

I’m the blind lady’s long, white cane,

Tappity, tap, tap.
