Public De'feet'

While sitting here and reading 'bout Ms. Kit's poetic feet
A brand new thought occurred to me...new thoughts are quite a treat
Now usually a rhyme will be read silently you see
But every now and then someone will share one orally

So I can't help but wonder what the consequence would be
If one stood up and shared a verse aloud and publicly
And say that poet's meter took a dive and headed south
Could one then say that poet's feet were squarely in his mouth?

Sorry, Kit...I just couldn't resist.

"...until you have read the verse on his heart,
you have not truly met the poet.

ROFL!

I loved this from the title, down,
Right to the final line!
My feet were tapping all the way ...
Your meter was devine!

Excellent Vicki ... and a great punchline!

Best wishes,
/Kit

Ouch, how many times have I done that? Too many, that's for sure. It's not so much the feet, it's those sweaty workout socks

Nice job here. And it gave me a good chuckle too.

Thanks,
Pete

I think you would just say one got off on the wrong foot!

Kit,
Now that was one well put foot( or two ).
Much better than a kick in the butt with a frozen boot ( or three ). But anyway, who's counting (Nan, and lately "Deer") so I guess
you can't get away with nothin' anymore around here!
