Red Socks
Toes meet
Beautiful feet,
Red socks, soft, cosy, form fitting;
Her mother was good at knitting.
Outfit complete,
Nothing beats
Happy feet!
Soft ground,
Kittens bound,
Feet bare in the summer heat;
Playing tag, children cry, ‘Don’t cheat!’
Laughter sounds,
Winner crowned ~
Another round.
Muddy grime ~
Childhood’s crime,
Red socks, wet, full of sand;
Into the bath, a gentle hand.
Dinner time,
Nursery rhyme,
Life sublime.
