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
