Roses For Feet Poem by Herbert Nehrlich

Roses For Feet

Rating: 5.0


A rose of any colour smells as sweet
as you, with the exception of your feet.
May I suggest you plant inside your shoes
some roses, blacks and reds and also blues.
It would improve the status of your feet
and even cold, our feet will need to meet
before the honeymoon when they'll be close
can you imagine, girl, a rose between your toes?

This sounds quite a lot like Ogden Nash. Very clever, very visual, and the olfactory sense does come to play. Good job, Herbert! Raynette
