Wearing Crocs To Office

Son wore fuzzy socks and crocs Loved them for the comfort they gave He would often say my shoe rocks When torn new one he would crave This went on even in teenage Went to college wearing them Never bothered like a sage When teased a song he would hum Wore them on the day of interview Not bothering about what others say Much attention it drew Interviewer noticed I must say They found it very funny Dress properly! If you wear it you'll never earn money He said I don't care a bit Comfort is my only aim It is ok if you go by shoes I find your excuse lame To obey I flatly refuse He got the job that day He did what he felt is right Live comfortably every day With copycats don't fight 18.06.2021 For fuzzy socks and crocs,Francine Roberts

I did not really know what crocs were until I googled it. I just wear flat shoes and those are enough comfort for me. And more stylish looking too. I was reading an article that said crocs were good but not to be OVER worn, because they don't offer enough support. Hmmm. In any case, great poem.

When I googled it, I got crocodile as answer, didn't know what to write. It was only when I read others,I realised what it is. Even I don't like Crocs, I prefer flats like you, but my son finds them very comfortable.
