Amusing read Carolyn. I can imagine your grandchildren love it when you write like this. Good rhyme used to keep the poem flowing well. Nicely done!

Kind regards

Sarah

    Thanks Sarah, yes they do love it when I read to them, especially when it is something I wrote. In fact, several of them are great little writers themselves.
    So glad you enjoyed this one, it was such fun to write.

Easy to see why children would love this, especially if coupled with pictures. Good format with both sides of the coin and you could say how much money just two feet saves. :-)

    I don't remember having new shoes actually, until I was a teenager. We always wore what the older ones outgrew. Since there were 10 of us, I was just always glad they were in 'pretty' good shape. LOL...LOve and goodnight, Carolyn

Nice poem. I enjoyed reading it very much. This was my favorite stanza:

And then I'd have some house slippers
To keep my feet all cozy
And socks on every foot I'd wear
No matter where I mozie

I like the ingenious rhyming of cozy and mozie although am not sure what mozie means.

    Hi there, mozie just means to kind of nonchalantly amble along.. Walk rather slowly.. Come to think of it, I mozie along myself at times. LOL
    Thank you so much and I am delighted you enjoyed this little poem. :-) Carolyn

I like the picture that you post
I thought it was a perfect make for all those silly things you wrote.
I read it to my great-grand children they all began to laugh.
Thank you for sharing.

This poem just made me laugh. Just one thing, the line 'A human kid and not a centipede ' seems a bit awkward. 'A human kid with only two feet' or something like that would sound better. Thank you for sharing.
