Playing Footsies

Playing footsies, smiling in bed Watching the late night news What happens- enough said Well, Surprise! Surprise! They both snooze Together eighty years Both outlived most their peers Some happy, some sad; tears No birds and bees Playing footsies Quietus-August 2021 Poetry Contest Sponsor: Unseeking Seeker 8/31/2021

Sometimes when you get that old, even playing footsies can give you such a thrill :)

Good one. Even footsies is satisfying after so many years I'd say!
