Them Toes
By John Herlihy

Ah, them toes,
Looking plump and well-fed.
Ah, them toes,
The nails blushed blood red.
Oh, the exquisite care,
None the worse for wear.
Buffed and polished,
All dirt and grime abolished.
Shiny blood red stains,
Is that all that now remains.
Sittin’ there in a row,
Carryin’ a big body in tow.
Them toes sure had flair,
After so much loving care.
Peeking out like small fry,
Seemingly quite shy.
A prize of some kind,
She certainly didn’t mind.
A picture from head to toe,
That was my sister Moe.

I, unfortunately, have toes my mother often compared to Vienna sausages. I doubt anyone would describe them so poetically as you have your sister's. A true exercise in fun.

GREAT TOES
GOODNESS KNOWS
THE PAMPERING DOES SHOW
GUESS I'LL HIDE MINE
WITH THE BUNION THAT SHINES
AND THE 'HAMMER' THAT WON'T STAY IN LINE!

ENJOYED. GREAT PHOTO, THANKS FOR SHARING, JOHN. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

I'm sure your sister loves the part about her big body. I guess it matches her plump toes. From your description of her toes, I can visualize her. I bet I would like her.

Ah, "Them Toes" are forever classy. "Them Toes," the same color red as her lip gloss. A beauty from head to "Them Toes."
