My shoes contain two huge ‘plates of meat’ - That’s cockney rhyming slang for my feet My shoes can smell like ripe cheese - Especially in a hot breeze Without shoes feet would not be complete! I like wearing shoes made from black leather They keep feet dry in inclement weather Daisy cow no longer moos - Her hide was used for my shoes My shoes not hers now walk in the heather!

Cockney Huh? Jan, I swear you have such a warped sense of humor. I love it!

Jan Allison
Date: 8/25/2016 1:02:00 PM

lol Daniel - yes honest in cockney rhyming slang the term for feet is 'plates of meat'... at least I have a sense of humour and can laugh at myself Daniel and don't take my poetry at all seriously lol...by the way ... I don't have smelly feet :-) L-) hee hee hugs Jan xx
