At first glance, my old slippers don’t look too shabby.
Turn them over. Whoa! If they could talk, imagine the stories they could tell. They were good to me for years, so they deserved a poem at the very least.
Ragged Old Slippers
Once soft and perky
Fuzzy warm pups
Cushioned my toes
Padded each step
Snug and comfy
Pattering through time
Like whispering dreams
Measured miles
Take a toll
Tired and scruffy
Loyal old dogs
Worn, grimy soles
Cracked and gritty
Tattered edges
Insides spilling out
Sleep well, faithful friends

Hahahaha! Those poor slippers. Not quite so comfy with the lumpy soles and holes. Thanks for visiting, Pambelina!
