Best Toe Poems

Silently washed ashore
this precarious log; from
where did you come, to 
where do you go?
My dog, on you he'll
chew... I hate you....

Still connected I feel you
How can the one that hurt
heal the one that is hurting

My saddened journey
no longer running
My thoughts tip toe 

Carefully painfully
feeling each step
So much to share

My heart is barren
nothing in or out
a void full of doubt

From the vinegar you gave
only the sweets...

Toe to toe, with you I'll be,
Face to face so we can see.

"What are feet?"
"A foot is something we walk on.  Another foot is the other one."

"A foot is twelve?"
"Know, twelve is the step between them.  Eleven and thirteen are the feet."

Twelve is...

Where'd you go?
oh where did you go
my precious camel toe?

played me like a fiddle
with your bubbly middle
you're such a skanky hoe
but I love you so
camel toe
camel toe

we had magic
we had fire
purple sweatpants my desire
come back camel toe

victory! camel toe
you're the villain 
you're the winner

Written Gail DeBole 
in 1997

There once was a toe that was big
and was helpful when dancing a jig.
At times it was stubbed,
and washed in a tub
and, when young, spent some time in a crib.

My favorite shoes? It’s wearing none!
I'll go barefoot, to have a run 
I hate to lose
the joy of ooze 
between my toes, some goo is fun !

I simply love my precious toes
to wiggle freely to and fro
Bound feet? Oh dear!
Don’t get me near!
A shoe is...

It's early spring and what do you know
The corn is as low as an elephant's toe

The grass has riz no sign of rain
Boidies are singing a happy refrain

Feel like jumping and clicking my heels
But I'm 77, take a long time to heal

Think I'll just watch...

I once had a friend named Pete
Who never liked to wash his feet
Every time he removed his shoes
Your nose was bound to lose
Was foot powder obsolete?...

The game of love is not unique
We can play it many ways
So why not try some tongue and cheek
To set a love ablaze

I’ll start and give a big ole’ hug
Represented by an O
And place it center where it’s snug
In Lover’s Tic Tac Toe

You answer with...

Have you ever wondered
Why your big toe is big?
Does it help with balance
While doing the jig?

Can you imagine
If all toes were large?
It would seem like walking
On a very large barge

Strange how everything
Seems the right size
Cause what if your arms
Were as big as your thighs?

Big toes...

I was following a speeding ambulance down the street the other day,

When it took a sharp corner and the back door flew open all the way!

A large Styrofoam box fell out and I screeched to a halt to peer inside.

What I found was so loathsome...

I think that I shall never see
A cowboy that eats toe-foo—
Sech a dern thang jest could not be
In this ol’ bunkhouse crew!

Real men eats beef an’ pork an’ beans—
And all thangs within their reach—
Us real cowpokes drink coffee black—
Turn noses up at quiche!

Veggies should stay...

Heel toe, heel toe
Joyfully I follow my muse
Sole slapping shiny black path
Heel toe, heel toe
I bounce on foot's ball
As the air wings below 

Heel toe, heel toe
My arms stretch outward
Water bottle raised 
Like a totem to the gods
I press my bulk
Into white space

Heel toe, heel...
