Fred Fled

She had
 got mad

 and threw
 a shoe

 he tucked
 and ducked

 and ran
 from Jan

 Oh Fred
 she said

 you make
 me ache

 Allow
me now

To take 
a break

Goodbye
 A sigh

Lovely footle, Joseph. I must be careful of the flying shoes. :) ~~

Oh my !!! Fred certainly needs to Watch Out for flying Shoes. Perhaps he needs to just stay away from Jan. That's sound like the best plan. :) This is cute, clever and creative. Your thoughts bring a smile. :) Brandy

WoW! Joseph, This is an excellent entry for the contest! It was so on point for one footle to another! It had such good flow and rhythm. It was funny, as well. Your chosen words described a hilarious scene. Best wishes in the contest. Have a great day:-) Alexis
