Finally came up with a way to do Week 1 Challenge :)
The first and second verses are based on real life experience, I forced the third one out.
Just something light hearted again, cos song 4 is dark.
* FYI - What is a patch of Bindies?
A weedy plant known for its tiny sharp-needled seeds. It appears with small feathery leaves reminiscent of parsley, with an exposed upward-pointing rosette of seeds in a pod nestled at the branch junctions. ... Those familiar with the plant may also know it as "bindi patches", which can't be walked on barefoot.

Verse 1
Yesterday I went a-walkin’
Around a place I hadn’t been before
I was happily, merrily strolling
Taking in the views in awe
But I didn’t pay attention,
To where my size 6 feet took me
And now I’m crying and lamenting
At my own stupidity
Chorus
My poor old feet, my poor old feet
Should’ve worn proper shoes instead
My poor old feet, my poor old feet
Should’ve worn proper shoes instead
Verse 2
Last month I went swimming
At a secret beach I knew
I gave my friends directions
I’ll see you at half past two
But the sunshine was ferocious
The cool water didn’t seem that far
For ten paces I was innocent
Until the sand became lava
Oh!!
Chorus
My poor old feet, my poor old feet
Should’ve worn proper shoes instead
My poor old feet, my poor old feet
Should’ve worn proper shoes instead
Verse 3
At home I hanging the laundry
In a backyard overgrown
I must admit I was in a hurry
My dear old mother was on the phone
But I forgot about the bindies*
And the rake that was lying around
Then the stupid cat tried to trip me
Oh I never screamed so loud
Oh!!
Chorus
My poor old feet, my poor old feet
Should’ve worn proper shoes instead
My poor old feet, my poor old feet
Should’ve worn proper shoes instead
Repeat chorus to fade
