The Would Be Podiatrists get an F...  (you decide)

(This is a true story)

It was a nice foot...

Had it been lotioned
it may have passed notice-
Hanging off the bed,
as it were...

Hair pertruded proudly
from every toe
Above which, inhuman
looking talons grew
on a hideous slant-
at least I now know what's
been stabbing my ankle
at night..

My daughter and I
pondered in delightful
disgust how both large
toes could pass for thumbs
And did not such a
discovery deserve
an experiment or two?

My idea blew
but my twelve year old
grinned with sand pail
full of pebble collection
and at first I failed to
make the connection
until she riddled me this:

"How many pebbles
can a thumb toe hold
if a thumb toe could
hold pebbles?"

The answer came quickly.

Four...

With a growl.

made me think about my brother, he used to always mock my toes and laugh stating they looked like fingers, while I hide them and he was grabbing his stomach with laughter.  hehehehhhehe

Good one, thank you

(giggles in delight) Hehehe, that silly little munchkin! LOL! I too know those teasings ever so much, hehehe, makes me think of the Jack Johnson song "Bubble Toes"! (kiss on cheek) God Bless You, sweet friend, I love this, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet R.T, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
