After going bare footed for the last 20 years

they come without instructions to wear
with funny looking strings up on the front there
and pray tell, for I've had a look quick
where do I find the "turn it on" switch
I thought they would help me and walk on their own
maybe it's my money, that I have just blown. [comments] => 17 [counter] => 759 [topic] => 7 [informant] => Mick_Puttock [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 40 [ratings] => 8 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => HumorPoetry )

Lmao!!! Maybe you can get rid of those 'thongs' now"..lol..

Ok..Ok....here are the instructions---->

Take the string from the left side shoe...
Tie it in a knot to the right side too...
Make sure it's all nice and tight
Then you'll be able to walk all night... :>)

Be sure to follow them to the T

(((((((hugs))))))))

I thought your poem was so cute and filled with laughter.

All I could think of was days of childhood and loving the feel of oozing mud between my toes until it was so thick I couldn't keep my balance.

Now I have the opposite problem, I simply can't get enough of shoes.

It was nice to see you posting.
