Fuzzy Crocs

As fashion statements go I fear his ‘T’ was rather shaky I wanna tap him on the back and bellow ‘Wakey wakey!’ What the hell you wearing boy, your T-shirt’s really stupid A muscle car or superhero just might bring you Cupid No one told me he was deaf so all he said was ‘What?’ Did you say you think my ‘T’ is really kinda hot? I said turn on your hearing aid so we can have a chat I said it in sign language (phew, I’m glad I covered that) He switched his ears on, turned to me and said what’s with your raving It’s just a printed T-shirt that you seem so badly craving I had this image printed just to illustrate a poem Some fella drew it for me from a sketch I had to show him I said it’s alligators, out of focus, by a river And there’s electric cables making alligators quiver And other alligators dance as sparks come from the rocks He said that’s right young man, I call it fuzzy crocs and shocks I said another time or day, I’d think your mind was gone But when you heard the rules, Sir... was your hearing aid turned on? 13 June 2021 Contest: Fuzzy Socks and Crocs Sponsor: Francine Roberts

Sigh... always the bridesmaid... ;-) Thanks Jan, nearly passed on this contest, but then this notion occurred to me and, unlike ‘Last Nights Brainwave’ I didn’t forget it. Glad you enjoyed. Terry
