Long Tootsies Poems

Space Shot

If I were a scientist I'd build a massive gun
To blast myself beyond the moon and then beyond the sun
I say the sun but it’s a star, our closest so I'm told
But I would...

if it's just lust


if it's just lust
no one goes bust
...then throwaway the rose
and prose
the idle stalk
and blank talk
playing footsies
and tootsies
shaken
and baking
in the oven
of shadow loving ...
find your knees
to please

if it's just lust
no one goes bust

As coffee cups go mine's very pretty
With butterflies and flowers thereon
Not very masculine I must admit
But sure welcome at the crack of dawn

Stumbling my way down to the kitchen
At six o'clock right on the dot
Dragging...

So here I go, back to the sillies
Jumping in with both my footsies
Clear the decks, full steam ahead
Hope I don't hurt my tootsies!

The world's my oyster as they say
I don't like that incantation
Think I'll use...

Tap tap tapping tickle toes
whose toes are those
caught in the throes
of Jimmy Choo’s canker toes?

Pigeon tootsies, pointy footsies
wiggly wonders, buckled under
piggies crossing over and under

All in the name of . . . 

STYLE!!

Legs appear longer,...

I think the dryer ate my socks.
  I cannot find a pair. 
  Whatever will my tootsies wear?

  No sign of socks 
    on my floor,

My trampy old DC's, a wonderful shoe
They stayed on my foot since I bought them brand new
No matter how smelly, or sandy, or wet
They were the best 'man-shoe' a female could get
You wear them for...

I love to go dancing each week,
alas, a new partner I now urgently seek

No conversation, Joe was such a bore,
as we shuffled around the dance floor

We’d mastered a waltz and the tango.
but he didn’t quite...

Okay people, enough is enough
What's happening with this crazy weather
Cold enough to freeze the tootsies off a penguin
The eskimos are all huddled together

So far this winter's been the coldest in years
Certainly not a very happy...

Halloween night

It’s a scary night in Cali
It’s like that everywhere
It’s the time were we can scream
(Scream)

Boo! the pumpkins scream out loud

Watch out!
 It’s a scary time in Galt

(Ding dong)
“Trick or treat”
The kids scream out loud

Children...

Jack Frost has taken us hostage today
My tootsies are freezing in every which way
When Kansas winter arrives, she does not play.

The sky is dark, not blue, more of a dismal gray.
Dapple horse is hiding in...

Sometimes I
just want to lie on 
the grass with
yellow blooms,
daisy heads between my toes
to make a statement.

In a world
of conformists who
swarm cities
in their suits,
I take my time...being me
and that’s what matters.

No hustle
bustle, kafuffle
in my life,
