Flip Flops!
Flip-Flops~ A summer fad
Walking on the beach
The sand between my toes
What are sneakers?
Sun on my skin
Many different styles
Stacked in my closet
Of every color
Size ten only
Every day on my feet
In the Southern hot morning
Brightly painted toenails
An ankle bracelet or two
The clacking on the street
I have twenty-two pairs
Still collecting more
Gonna need another closet
Or just steal my mother’s!
Mismatching is fun
“Can I wear this pair?”
“Just for today?”
“I’ll give ‘em back!”
“They’re really cute!”
3 months later...
They’re on my floor.
I have 35 pairs,
and no regrets.
