Fuzzy Socks and Crocs: Hideous

Sand flows much too quickly in that goldarn hour glass
I'm no spring chicken, but I'll have to take a pass
If a guy thinks he rocks
Wearing fuzzy socks and crocs
That nerdy look is just too dorky for this lass

I've had lots of men flirt with me throughout the years
But one dressed like that and I'd be laughing with tears
He'd make an impression
And from my expression
He'd be very embarrassed by guffawing jeers

There's a rumor about Batman going around
When he saw Robin wearing socks and crocs in town
He swatted him with a "ZONK!"
"Why are ya dressed like a punk?"
"Take those hideous things off or you're going down!!"

I've always admired a man who has self respect
One who dresses with class and style, I'd not reject
I'd call him a silver fox
In well-shined shoes, he walks
But in fuzzy socks and crocs, he'd look train wrecked!

Guys, if you want a lady's  provocative glance
Invite her to dinner and then share a slow dance 
But remember that your shoes
Will give her the helpful clues
She requires to let your flirting lead to romance

David Kavanagh Date: 6/10/2021 12:03:00 PM I so do not like crocs Jenna, but to wear them with socks in public, should be outlawed, your cascade of Limericks, works so well, and Batman in tights beating up Robin in crocs, makes a lot of sense, all the best in the contest, cheers David Login to Reply Jenna Logan Date: 6/10/2021 12:40:00 PM Thank you for the cool comments, David. Win or not, I enjoyed the time spent creating these.
