BIG FEET

Michael Edwards

 

 

 

BIG FEET

 

On either side

They’re very wide

They’re none too neat

My two big feet

But I’m not sad

It’s not that bad

I’m not a clown

I don’t fall down.

  • Comment from author about the poem: A bit on nonsense for today. Actually I can get into size 8 shoes (42 Europe, 10.5 USA) if they are wide enough. Why do shoe sizes vary so much across the world?

    Good fun write.
    You are so right my UK size is a 10 but occasionally with some shoes I need an 11 - very strange.

    • Michael Edwards

      I usually end up buying 9.5 shoes to get the wide width even when the shoes are described as being wide fit. Thanks Andy

      But I've not fallen down yet - perhaps I\'m simply not quite old enough yet 🙂 '

        Made me smile. As I do have big feet for a small lady. But I never much fancied the life of a clown

        • Michael Edwards

          The bigger the feet the less chance of falling over - there are always positives.

            Oh that didn't work out for me...More feet to trip over! Ha ha.

            A fine write Michael. Has Miss Berles tried clowning, or any of her relatives, whose names I may not have heard of yet?

            • Michael Edwards

              There are many gnomes who I've not mentioned but you may recall I've posted some of my cartoons in the past featuring Barrington, Athelstan, and Arsin Gear.
              Have you ever met Cedric the ladybird?

              Miss Berles isn't a gnome of course.
