Do Not Stand - A parody

Do not stand on my toe and bleat 
I am not here, they're not my feet
I am the throbbing, noisome bunnion
I am the tears brought on by onion
I am the sting of an insect bite
I am the bump in the dead of night
When you stub your toe on a hidden root
I am the sniggering, mirthful hoot
of children hidden in the hedge
I am the slippery window ledge
As you hit the street below
I tell you this so all will know
Do not stand on my foot and squawk
I am not here, I took a walk.
