Fortunately, not a problem I am familiar with, mine is big enough to fill a pram. Good fun Jan, good luck , Viv x

ha ha ha. This was my original idea and seeing that most of the winners won with the short form maybe I should have stuck with this poem:-)hugs Jan xx

This was my original poem for the contest and I was so happy when Brian allowed us to expand the theme lol:-) hugs jan xx

Ha ha! Am guessing this was your original draft, before Brian allowed multiple strings? Works well on its own!! I finally dredged that "Models" Footle out of my brain, that I talked about months ago - let me know if you get a chance to view it! All the best, John.

Yes this was my original poem and now it's grown into a string of footles :-) I do find it so difficult just to write one I guess it's because I love to write rhyming poetry:-)Will drop by your poem:-) xx hugs jan xx

I have yet to figure it out myself Chris, I looked at the stats and by all calculation Jan should be #1........ and she is when she's writing about #2 .......just kidding Jan big hug !

Maybe its favorites then. I see your Poem had over 4k views though that is some Serious Numbers my Dear you have a massive following if not the best

Thanks Christopher for the comment about the poem:-) As for best new poems I have no idea how it is calculated, I held the top spot for my midnight romance poem and it showed on my list of people's favourite poem but it didn't have any more faves than other poems I have written but it has had a lot of comments. Maybe TPS could tell you but i don't know how its worked out:-) hugs Jan xx

Are fig leaves very small Jan. Was that your point or more appropriate is that his point! Maybe he should have worn a magnifying glass. I had mine tattooed with a lager version of the original. It’s all about optics Jan it’s all about optics. Because of the huge restrictions you were under I’ll have to fav this one. I mean look at the huge conversation you started with just two words...and a twig.

LOL Armand and I am going to 'expand' the theme now the sponsor has changed the rules:-) hugs Jan xx

The perfect footle, really! I particularly love the tone - no judgement, just matter of fact. Earns a fave in my books.

Jan Allison

Love your humor, Jan. Maybe this footle should have a not-for-contest continuation. John

Jan Allison
Date: 11/22/2017 10:00:00 AM

I have done a poem on this theme but maybe its time for it to be revived and a few more verses added lol. I do find the one footle contests so restrictive as once I start I find it hard to stop:-( hugs jan xx
