Snow Afoot

In snow
Walk slow

If stuck
Hard luck

Bad foot?
Stay put

Forced stay
Delay

A sleigh!
Hooray!

Of course I enjoyed your Footles, Paul.... Especially the, (in snow - walk slow) lol...I imagine that's how it be, if it showed in the lower parts of Texas. Good Day! Sending hugs and smiles. Linda

Hi Linda! It never snows in Malta; the only times I saw real snow was when I went on the Alps. [did I see a blog of yours yesterday? or was I dreaming, cos I can't find it today!!] hugs ~~ paul

Congratulations on your win, Paul! I thought this was a cute endearing poem. When I went backpacking in Cascade, the snow would swallow my entire leg! Didn't have sleighs with us unfortunately ... Had to keep trekking along, regardless ...

Thank you Timothy. Pleased to feature on your list! We never get snow in Malta, so this is just imaginative fun. ~ Regards // paul
