Charles Messina Poet Rhyme

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

Virginia Gelok September 1, 2021 at 6:55 PM Good one. Even footsies is satisfying after so many years I'd say!
