Rubbery Wings


They came from another land

two pieces of rubbery mat

violet, flowery and flat.

Comfort at first hand.


Goodbye boredom,

bliss and fun to meet.

Hello freedom!

All at your feet.


Wings to fly, paths to cross

the old ones, you can toss.

So much to explore,

just open the door.


Then step inside the violet joy

don't be coy!

Life is as stylish as you let,

take a flight, make a bet!


The rubbery mat

will stand by you

no matter where you're at,

no matter what you do.


Just slip inside,

go for a stride

or a ride.

You don't need a guide,

just go with the tide...


One foot at a time

left, right

a little swing of the toes

it's spring, all flows...


They are ready for a stroll

holding your feet as they go

fashionably Brazilian, girlier,

those are the sandals

that I got for you earlier.
