Listen to poem:
My favorite shoes? It’s wearing none! I'll go barefoot, to have a run I hate to lose the joy of ooze between my toes. Some goo is fun ! I simply love my precious toes to wiggle freely to and fro Bound feet? Oh dear! Don’t get me near! A shoe is torture, and my foe! I could not dance on twinkle toes Could not advance my prance or pose A barefoot stance Is my best chance of never needing pantyhose! Indulge me please! I'll be carefree removing shoes, in company no matter what the circumstance I'll slip them off at every chance I'll tuck my feet behind my chair assuming no one is aware A happy dance, behind my back, is going on, and that's a fact! I hope that you won't think to check, and say that I have no respect My toes are happy, to be sure Indulge me please, but don't despair I'm saving up for pedicures! __________________________ Reposted 6/10/16

I read, couldn't listen and compete with TV, your delightful, upbeat and spunky poem with a grin throughout. Thank you for a lighthearted reprieve from the serious, deep reads. CayCay
