'sole' Mates

New dentist, he’s called Mister Payne His image is fixed in my brain He wore fuzzy green socks Pink suspenders and crocs I’m hoping I’ll see him again! I ogled him from the black chair His quirky clothes sure made me stare A red latex G-string Hardly covered a thing The rest of his body was bare! He polished and checked all my teeth And revealed his first name was Keith He admired MY gold crocs Lace basque and red socks We’re dating tonight on the heath! Fuzzy socks and crocs Poetry Contest Sponsored by Francine Roberts 06/10/21

Ha!! Ha!! Enjoyed reading this winner. I do wonder what would happen if I went to see the dentist in an unusual attire? I expect at my age they would just send me off. LOL..Congrats on this winner. Sara

Hello Jan … very witty indeed Jan. I had no idea what crocs are so had to google it. Our crocs are a little different and you certainly wouldn’t be having a mate amongst them. Youse would BE dinner - thanks again Jan - Lindsay
