Tippy-Toes

Miss Juliette trips the light fantastic 

To temporary, temporal, tempo clocks

Pirouettes and dips, like tight elastic

In her bustles and bows and bobby socks


A whirlybird, a wonder, a wisp of the wind

Tippy-toeing to tantalize her toes

Spinning and grinning, unaware of the wind

Tippy-toes tapping to where the wind blows

You gotta be quick, to catch the wind from her tippy-toes! Kinda makes you dizzy, doesn't it?

I enjoyed this portrayal of 'Miss Juliette,' as she serendipitously tip-toes to nowhere...

We should all be that breezy, hey brother Wolf? Although, if I tried to tippy-toe today, my toes would just topple. Toppled toes can't tow the load, walk the road, kick a toad. Well, I guess I wouldn't kick a toad, unless he kicked me first. Walk hard!
