Toes

Toes

Rain encourages one
To go barefoot or 
Perhaps slippers or
Fancy shoes.

But when you see
Toes exposed as they be
Twinkling trimmed and painted
With rainbow colors set free.

But wait,  what about that one
Who just passed.
Nails cut square and with a shine
Freshly done oh so fine.

I looked up to admire
And was surprised to see
Standing there.
Six foot tall with bare legs exposed

Some mother’s son
Where will it end?
