Tom Cunningham Poet Footle

Footle X15

Soup down 
Big frown 

Food fast
Won't last

Pose nude
No prude

Hot date
Heart rate 

Sun rise
Night dies

Sunset
Night met

Bo Peep
Minds sheep

Sun bed
Bright red

Pol Pot
Despot 

French fries 
Large thighs 

Slow lane
No gain

Loud clock 
Tick tock

T. Rex
Don't vex 

Speed trap
Bum rap

No bail
It's jail

John Watt July 23, 2020 at 11:18 PM Soup up / full cup. Bright Tom / da bomb. Short poem / hits home. Great job with these, Tom. Yes, I sure did miss the Soup and the daily interchange with such clever people. You nailed these, Tom. Curious though, is it coincidence that you placed "pose nude" next to "hot date"? Out of footles? Toodles! ~ John Tom Cunningham July 24, 2020 at 12:16 AM Lol, love your comment John, oh I see what you mean, pure coincidence I assure you, complete fiction haha. I see you've got the bug too. Tom
