Oh, yes, I remember penny loafers.
"makes for comfortable wheels."
Shouldn't that be MAKE?
"not worn by prigs
certainly not any bigwigs" In high school, the snobs put dimes in their penny loafers like we were supposed to be impressed? Love the poem. Love the memory.

Barb, thanks

Dear Buddy, outside of having to resort to a line like :
"while hearing the flying pig squealS ," )which kind of throws me for a loop) If you would be willing to change to word to just plain "squeal," it would rhyme better with
"real." ( and I could live with a flying pig. )

Comment from thaities, Rebecca V.
I wore black penny loafers in high school and even went off to college in them. I polished and shined them every night before going to bed. Good old rugged shoes. I put a shiny dime in mine...

Bill, I even had penny loafers when I was a young girl. I love that they're soft and comfortable! I like your appropriate photo and your lovely poem. I rsoecially like your use of "prigs," and "big wigs" to make your work really colorful. I noticed one small error: it should read TOO fast a pace, not to in this case.
Otherwise, it's an excellent poem.
Have a really good week.ð???
