Tom Cunningham Poet Footle

Footles X 17

Small print 
Eyes squint 

Deep snow 
Tread slow

Strong gales 
Drop sails 

Score high
Bulls eye

Great whites
Big bites 

Dark rum
Warms tum

Thin hair
Thread bare

Small tent
Legs bent

Wide load
Hogs road

Strong cheese 
Bees knees 

Flash drive
Archive 

Clear night
Stars bright

Peace dove 
Spreads love 

Suns heat
Dead beat

Earthquakes 
Ground shakes 

Shots rang
Loud bang

Just wed
Now bed
