Picture # 4 Santa had a tiny elf His feet were growing large And everywhere Santa went The elf's big feet would sparge Santa spent so much time Making the elf new shoes Because it was late spring Snow melt did ooze and ooze Everyone knew when he was near Because his feet smelled like cheese Old, old stinky parmesan Others would tease and tease Santa needed a solution To this big problem, so He asked all the boys and girls To send him answer though He received so many letters With answers quite clever From soaking his feet in tea To changing the weather Santa was busy answering All those long dear letters He could not make any new toys His mind was tied in terrors Mrs. Claus came up with a solution So, they could get back on track Now everyone is happy And filling Santa's sack I know you want to know the secret That helped those stinky feet She took tiny elf to the doctor Who prescribed some meds sweet Anti-fungal tablets to take Powder like downy sheets Lots of soap and water to clean Clean socks, oh! a great treat

A very interesting story...dear Sara. Quite imaginative too. I am sure the elf's feet didn't smell. It must have been his socks. Once I encountered this problem. Getting a foul smell, I thought some rodent's carcass might be decaying. I searched everywhere and finally found the source. It was coming from my son's sports shoes dumped in a corner and the socks tucked inside.

Valsa, I think most moms and grandmoms have encountered those socks or shoes or both. My daughter had a female friend over one time when she was like in her early teens and that girl had the worst stinking feet ever. I wondered if she ever washed them. Sara K

Sara, the way you delay providing the solution adds a lot of suspense. I almost thought you wouldn’t tell us! The solution you provided seems very fitting to me as a fellow aged individual. lol!!! Making me smile inside you are!!!

Sara Kendrick
Date: 8/4/2024 3:05:00 PM

Why, thank you, Duke. I am glad you liked this one and the way I ended with a solution. We have a grandson who lives with us who as a child had a problem with his feet and hands. The dermatologist said his sweat glands were not working and he was being pickled in his sweat, but his feet got in such a mess that I did not know what we were going to do. Anyway, I used over the counter anti-fungal medicine on his feet, and you know what his foot problem cleared.

Adorable, Sara. Nothing but fun reading this one... Several lives ago, I was a security guard in a prison on the night shift for a couple of years. The worst part was having to smell the prisoners' shoes and socks, which were off as they were sleeping. Moldy cheese smells so much better!! lol. Cheers, Gershon

Gershon, LOL>>>I would have never thought about that as being a problem as a prison guard. LOL..Yes, those smelly feet can be rough and when a person has it really bad and maybe overly sweaty feet it can be a health problem as well. Thanks for the nice understaning review. Sara K
