Nails
If a cardinal, the day before the pope is cleaning his feet,
washes them himself day before and clip his toenails short
will he be cheating. Or do all cardinals do the same before
letting the pope clean their feet?
When I go and see my doctor I always clean my feet well.
because I know he is going to see them –diabetes- I also soak
my socks in aftershave lotion  and smell like a barber shop;
last I saw him he sneezed, guess I have to buy a dearer brand.  

I looked under the cat´s nails they were spotless not a splat
of blood although I knew he just had killed a mouse.  
I have problems with my fingernails, always tinkering with
an engine until it is all a mess and I have to call out a mechanic.
When a mess boy, years ago the chief steward inspected out
hands in the morning, but luckily not our feet.
