Notes About The Poem
Inspired by the difficulty I had getting my son to put on shoes and socks when he was a little kid getting ready for school.
A Footle Story
My son -
no fun
Distress
to dress
Thinks rocks
in socks
His view
not true
Won’t put
one foot
in shoes
I choose
and so
we go
to let
him get
new pair
to wear.
He tries
each size.
It seems
he beams.
Okay
I say.
Those shoes
we’ll choose.
But oh,
the woe.
Again -
with pain
to use
new shoes!
He tries
and cries,
then howls
and scowls.
This stuff-
enough!
Just please
use these:
Flip flops.
Gripe stops!
