In Fuzzy Socks and Crocs

To town he goes in fuzzy socks and crocs. Do watch him! See how proudly that he walks. He likes the way that everybody gawks as he strolls down the city’s many blocks. He bets they’re thinking, “What a silver fox!” Whereas THEY think his head is filled with rocks. How comfortable his crocs. How warm his socks. He feels so good. Down by one of the docks where street performers strut around like cocks, I plug my ears. He’s playing his squeez-box! June 16, 2021 for the Fuzzy Socks And Crocs Poetry Contest of Francine Roberts

Sounds like someone who's unabashedly comfortable in their own strangeness. This was fun to read. The mono-rhyme flows nicely.

I remember the song that said that Momma got a squeeze box. I never could really figure that song out but I thought it was funny with sexual overtones or undertones. I enjoyed reading your contest entry. Reads like a good contender to me. Way to go. Thanks for the visit to my page. Sara

Yours is a really good take on this Fuzzy Socks And Crocs prompt, Andrea; not made any easier by employing monorhyme. ~ Regards // paul

I've been wondering what crocs are so I had to search. I found I'm wearing them most of the time in summer. Hugs.
