Margarita Lillico Poet Couplet

Mitts For Tots

Painfully puzzling to the tots - 
Why gloves are made with silly slots?!

Pointless production of a man - 
Nuisance to chilling winter fun. 

They aren't designed for nimble skills:
Picking your nose or counting bills.

And totally not meant to scroll 
On any gadget screens at all.

Gloves' extra pattern of ten-holed 
Does not protect against the cold.

That begs the question of the tots -
Why bother fumbling for the slots?!

Put your mitts on, and off you go,
Frolicking freely in the snow. 

Hope we don't fancy, apropos, 
Boots with a slot for every toe!

John Lawless January 24, 2023 at 2:44 PM Lovely job with the couplets and a bit of humor although I have seen socks with individual toe "hangers". Thanks for participating in the contest
