I  NEED  SOME  LIPPER  LAPPERS

I had to throw my Lipper Lappers away.

Because they were smelly and starting to decay.

I can't stand going bare foot around the house,

I'm no longer as quiet as a mouse.

I can hear myself stomping down the stairs,

knowing all the time, that I'm offending my family's ears.

And when I'm sitting at the computer surfing or writing my poetry, I don't feel relaxed without them you see.

So today, tomorrow or next week, I'm going to buy me a pair.

Perhaps spend about a fiver - I think that's fair.

Then my little pinky toes and all the others ones, will be swaddled and warm,

and I'll no longer be kicking up a storm.

.....................

It's strange, I've always wanted my digits to roam free,

I hope getting older isn't changing me.

It will be a pipe next week and maybe a sherry.

Which will be OK, because I won't worry about getting old, because I'll always be merry.
