A Barefoot Wonder

Fungus grew between her toes How and when, no one knows Perhaps, barefoot in mushroomed fields This careless walking sometimes yields It started with a tiny itch It grew and then would throb and twitch! Could breadcrumbs quell this prickly ache She packed her toes, make no mistake Mystery solved, at last she snaps! My toes look like stuffed mushroom caps She soaked them in some vinaigrette A glass of wine and she’s all set!

- Fungus between the toes ... sounds disgusting ... do not walk barefoot ... it smells :))) ... she should see a doctor ... when the fungus is gone ... she can have a glass of wine :))) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer are chuckling away madly. Let me get out my straw hat and watch MY bare feet turn into toad stools. Hilarious! Kudos, Mike. ~ Gershon
