I Hope and Pray That I Never See, a Pair of Crocs Not On My Feet

If I could ever count the cost If ever I was at a Croc loss Oh the inhumanity If there were no Crocs upon my feet No comfort for them to saddle in No soft rubber sponge in which to grin Whether Chinese made or Mexican If you have not Crocked you have not lived At the sight of Crocs it brings to mind Who is the king of the foot line When the rubber hits the hardened road It is the Croc that's in the know So take a ride and slip and slide Inside the Croc you'll feel you died And landed straight at heaven's gate Where angels have Crocs on their feet Do you still feel the need to ask If Crocs are just a passing fad You can ask my feet and my ten toes They're the ones that are in the know But their reply will be a muffled sound As they're both inside my Crocs right now

Mike, I revised and added a lot to Crocs Ramble. It has a very, very funny ending. Could you please read it and comment?

I used to like crocs when I was little and since them cant stand them, but other than m personal opinion, you poem was very well written and I enjoyed the structure of it.

And one more thing.. Your other croc poems have funny endings, but this is more hilarious. The best line -- "If you have not crocked....." So funny and true!

Between you and me, the readers must feel under some croc attack

I was waiting and because I was waiting long, I knew you were producing a winner. You are sharp, creative, talented and funny. The difference between a good poem and mine is that a good poem has energy in it. My poems are monotonous and sound boring to even me. Congratulations winning the Croc-off! (I too had originally used 'crocked-feet' in Tire Attire, but it got edited out.
