Footles and short poems seem all I have time for at the moment! Thank you for 'popping by', Gary.

(edited) Wendy this is adorable! So glad to have found it today! I'm editing to answer your question. I came to your poems to read your fine work and read several pieces. This caught my eye because of its title. :D

Thank you, P.S. I haven't been onto this site for months but took a look tonight and much appreciated your feedback. I wonder what drew you to look at this one in particular?

Wendy, such a clever use of footle form to describe ever so succinctly the dreaded Auntie visit. Loved your internal dialog (in parens) and your ending scene with Auntie #2 coming as Auntie #1 is leaving. Thank you for the smile ~ John

How lovely to see you back, John. Like you, I have hardly been active on the site apart from entering old poems into Brian's contests but this just popped into my head from nowhere! I'll look forward to reading more of your excellent poems soon. Thank you so much for the feedback.
