Mr Flip-Flop
FLIP-FLOP FLIP-FLOP FLIP-FLOP
GOING BAREFOOT FEELS FINE AT THE TIME
YEAH AND SHOES DO TOO
SOMETIMES I NEED SOMETHING LIGHT
SOMETHING NOT QUITE SO TIGHT
ONLY SANDALS WILL DO
OF THE PACK I HAD MY PICK
WISH I KNEW WHAT MAKES THEM TICK
AND GET A HANDLE ON
THESE MY BRAND NEW SANDALS
THEY DIDN'T COST A LOT OF MONEY
BUT WHEN I WALK MY FEET

Sand Promises -POTW
Flip flops and straw hat adorn him, beach wear suits him nicely
Kind is he to her as he scoops into a bucket measuring precisely
Casted are his piteous passions in sunstruck warm sands
Gently shaping and capturing her likeness, she is in skilled hands
Stooping over chin to knee he bares bronze shoulders glimmering
Her features delicate,

Flip-Flops
Plain droplets plink downward risk-free.
Rain, that bristles on panes, weighty.
Rip-roaring, soaring, not boring,
as wind assists an outpouring.
Angled and claustrophobic dance.
Can’t see the light; cars take a stance.
Sky, a blue-gray, wiper flip-flops.
Shy, the soft pelts of ho-hum drops.

No Time For Flip-Flops
snow covers green grass
with slippery ice crystals
no time for flip-flops
Real slippery slope
Landing hard on my backside
Fighting back the tears
no cause for laughter
broken bones are not a joke
planned ski trip postponed

Where Are My Flip Flops
sunlit magic
gritty hot sand
flip flops, umbrellas,
The smell of suntan lotions
Ph30, Ph15, Ph-something else.
Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!
Burning of the feet
Where are my flip flops?
Who wore them?
Where did they go?
Where is my hat?
I am going to get burned.
You tan, but I will crisp up like a marshmellow
That has fallen into the embers.
Same as last year
And the year

Two Pairs of Flip-Flops
In the shadow of the northern light
We stay indoors and bundled tight
Never even leave the house at night
For fear of freezin' to death
I want to go with you away someplace
Where the air doesn't hurt my face
We'll live like members of the human race
Where we don't see our breath
We'll settle down in the southern seas
Make love

When Percy Flops
Percy the peacock flaunts his colored tail,
Spreading gold wings like a Japanese fan
To excite a mate, a future peahen
Along the hall where children watch him sail.
Once, thrice, Percy struts a handsome display
With eyes blue, he looks around for a pick.
And ladies murmur of avian topic;
While they form a circle nearing his way.
The prettiest one robed

The Red Flops
The Red Flops
Its baseball time in Boston Town
Sure hope the team won t let us down
Gonzales, Papi and Bobby V.
Will surely a pennant bring.
But oh no the season came
And all our players came up lame.
Bailey never threw a pitch
Followed soon by Youkilis
On the Disabled List went

No More Belly Flops!
A belly flop, I was dared to do
After my beer, I headed for the pool-
A diving board jump!
Enormous splash- all my plump
Bystanders drenched, Me- feeling like a fool.
Next time they want a boisterous cheer,
Hopefully not until next year-
No more jelly belly
Stay away from the deli
I'll dive like a swan-with tight new gear~!
*Alternative ending; with a

Flip-Flops
Flip-flop,flip-flop!
flip-flop,flip-flop!
a steady beating cadence
most annoying at times
whether from a distance
worse yet,when fast approaching
gives one cause to grit their teeth
until the noise moves on
becoming more and more silent
with each progressing
flip-flop,flip-flop.

A Pair of Friggen' Flip Flops!
I've got these deviant flip flops
Cheaply made, I will admit
But they're masters of torture
Though you may not give a sh_t
The right's thong attachment
Comes loose with every step
I've tripped so far 8 times
I've even had times I wept!
I reattach this toe stud
Every minute, or less, I'm sure
And that's if I'm not too lazy
I should do it

Flip Flops
Flip flops slip off slowly
My barefoot touches the warm sand
Cold waves crash against my body
I feel the hot sun on my legs
Smell of salt water is in the air
The ocean breeze lightly blows through my hair
Seashells sparkle covering the ocean floor
Tiny pepples hiding in the sand shine through
Sand shimmers in the sunlight
Waves crashing gently
