Ranu in her Sandals
I prefer my sandals without any heels
For me there is no signing of deals
Tripping and Falling I cannot afford
O my feet! look at them - they are so bored
Walk and run I do it all in sandals
High heels and boots are stacked in bundles.
Come and pick them if you need
My feet long for a different breed...

Dear Ranu,
ReplyDeleteOnce you find a comfortable pair of shoes, all of the ones you purchased just for fashion are laid to rest in a shoe graveyard. LOL I love your poem! Thank you for sharing it with us.
Love,

Ranu, I absolutely loved your humorous poem. What a joy to read and remember why I do not buy shoes very often. For me bare feet or sandals are the most comfortable. One would think I was a Tennessee 'Hill Billy' like my kin folk. However I am just an Arizona Desert Rat that learned to enjoy the feel of the warm sand in my toes. Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent.
ReplyDeleteLove. Charlene
Dear Charlene , thank you for your encouraging take on feet and sandals and the feel of sand. I fell like running to the Desert. love

Hi Ranu, Our poor feet take such abuse, it's nice to pamper them & wear proper sandals or shoes. Personally, I love to go barefoot, weather permitting that is. I enjoyed your poem. It made me chuckle! Thanks for sharing....Chris~
