A Poem About Feet
"Will you dance?"
"No, I'm sorry I don't dance,
I've a bunion like an onion
and some corns that give me jip,
This floor is hard,
These boards look waxed,
I'm scared that I might slip.
Besides, I have a blister
and I think it's going to burst,
When it comes to feet,
You know I really am accused.
I have got verrucas
the like of which would make you pale,
There's very little foot-wise
from which I do not ail.
Hey there!
Where are you going?
Oh no!
What did I say?
Don't let my ingrown toenails
get in romance's way.
Oh dear, looks like I've blown it,
It seems I just can't win it.
Just when I think I've found someone,
I put my big feet in it!

Maria, I am now 50 plus 1 day but had a blast yesterday! Great weekend so far, loads of fun. I fear poetry's days are numbered on this site, such a shame!

CripSp, many thanks for viewong and commenting - it still makes me chuckle - thankfully, my feet are not really as described here!
" I've a bunion like an onion..."
Yeah, welcome to "50"' girlfriend! You are so darned funny...
Loved this, Voted UP and FAB!

Rich, thanks so much :o), it does gets bits and bobs of traffic but poetry is on its way out of HP I reckon :o(

Debby glad you liked it, many thanks for your comment.

Martie - thanks for your comment, advice heeded :o)

Daisy, many thanks - feet are certainly an unusual subject for poetry :o)
LOL...gotta love someone who leads with BOTH feet! Ha-ha-ha-larious, thank you..
Jools - I truly identify with the words in your poem - a great write and humorous, made me laugh. Ahhh to be young - from pointed toe stilettos to flat lace up horrors -
Julie - I loved this! It's funny as ... and extremely witty! Hope this helps to get the score up some! Really is much better than most of the stuff that's out there! Great Job!
Jools ~ Loved this conversation between the feet, sounding like middle-ages or seniors showing their oats, and how they two-stepped and found they parted ways at the end of the story. Blessings, Debby
LOL! This was about putting your big foot in. Don't do it again, jools! Lol!
Julie,
I came back to read your poem a second time. I love poetry about unusual subjects. Well done!

Beeter to laugh at feet than scream at them - could lead to so many awkward moments in shoe shops :o) Thanks for your repeat visit Dana, I appreciate it.
came back to read this again because it is awesome! Makes me giggle and sqirm at the same time. fantastic!

Jen, many thanks for your comment - feet are to be laughed at!

My feet need a regular treat :o) Thanks for the comment.
Thanks for the laugh. I am not a foot person but I found this funny.
The feet can't be beat with this treat! :)

fpherj48, glad it tickled your funny bone :o), many thanks for your comment.
Jools99 ..how cute..how sweet...how wiggly and funny!! Love your tribute to FEET!! UP & funny!!

Annie, many thanks for your great comment. Yes, this is a great (albeit fictional) deterrent for avoiding an unwanted encounter.
Yes, laughing too!!! Beautifully funny and a useful ploy should you want to deter someone from romantic advances, but otherwise, yes this is really putting your foot in your mouth!!! Love your poetry!! My votes and best wishes to you Jools and sharing.
haha! Reminds me of hobbits! They're real afterall! haha

Daisy - glad I got your little toes on the move! I have lovely feet now, it was not always so in my youth :o(
Dana, yes, share it with your mam, she will read it and sigh knowingly!
Lesley - glad I tickled your funny bone today.
Keith - I used to work with a girl who had huge feet, they were more like flippers than feet, weird.
Hilarious! I have a friend who's 5'8" and has size 16 men shoes. Isn't that insane??
Fabulous - so funny!
Voting up!
Absolutely love this. I have an odd aversion to feet. Except those of kids and one of my friends who has beautiful feet. I love how you celebrated all the comically gross foot ailments in such a fun way. I will definitely share this with my mother on her Facebook. She always grossed me out as a kid by showing me her corny toes! :)
Julie,
My toes began wiggling as I read this. They enjoyed your poem as much as I did.

Audrey, written a long time ago when I was still a stilletoed twenty-something who partied hard on Saturday nights and soaked my poor disfigured hooves on a Sunday morning....ah, happy days!
Isn't this piece a hoot (a "foot")???
- Author
Thanks Linda. They are aching today actually, maybe I should write another poem :o)
I'm back for another laugh at the funny feet!:)

No toe fluff here! This was truly one we can all relate too (at least everyone in my generation). Loved it and voted up and awesome.

Gus - thanks for dropping by and leaving your comment, I appreciate it!
copywriter31 - many thanks for your kind comment.
Very creative and well-written!
Howdy Jools99 - Not quite footloose and fancy-free, but fun to read. Maybe it is OK to call it a toe-tapper.

Audrey, I wrote this a long time ago and it was once published in a women's magazine - my only publishing success ever! I decided to 're-pimp' it here on HP. By the way, it is completely fictional, I have lovely feet! Thanks so much for dropping by and commenting, I appreciate it.
Very cute. I enjoyed it, and so did my feet!
Jools, I just had to chuckle at this! What a funny piece!
- Author

Made me laugh out loud!

Sunshine and Albertjs -thanks for your comments; feet are as good a poetry subject as other to me, I write about anything (or sometimes nothing :) )
- Author
Carl and Tammy, thanks so much for your kind comments, I thought this little hub was gathering toe fluff and was long forgotten....aw, that's cheered me right up knowing you both found it.
Whew.. that is tough. I don't like people looking at my feet, touching them, or sitting next to them. I could never deal with someone who had a foot fetish. :) Cute poem. Voting up!
Haha! Jools99 you are awesome, great work! Voted Up, Funny and Awesome
This is kind of brilliant. I mean who elso writes poetry about feet? : ) Voted up & funny.
Funny tribute poem for our feet!!:)
Love this! You have a talent, enjoy it! We are!!!

I think I may be a 'brand new' Jools; thank you for your kind comments.
...great wit .... great writing .......are you the same of Jools of 'old' - or are you a new Jools with a new look - either way I could instantly recognize your inimitable style - and so nice to see and hear from you again - hope you've had a safe happy and productive summer - lake erie time 11:05am ontario canada

Be blessed,

Very cute! My friend has Fred Flinstone feet, this I will share with her! Thank you for the chuckle!
