In The US of A!!!!


We're here at the Ft Lauderdale airport this morning! Honduras time it's 4:00am to us although here it';s only 6. We are very tired. We is my sister April and I. With much gratitude to family and a friend named Abby, we are on our way to catching our next flight to the Tampa airport. We'll be in the USA for 20 days. Our adventure has only just begun!

Barefoot Humor

The Tenderfoot
by: A. Rose

I clear my throat and then I cough,
For Daddy has taken his shoes off
And at his walk I like to scoff.
Oh, yes! He’s a tenderfoot!
~
Shall I compare it to a midsummer’s day?
More likely an afternoon matinee!
Yes, here my dear Daddy I do betray.
Oh, yes! He’s a tenderfoot!
~
Like a tightrope walker in pantyhose,
Balancing ‘pon his tippy-toes,
Across the yard my Daddy goes.
Oh, yes! He’s a tenderfoot!
~
Cringing from each stab he feels
As grass blades plunge into his heels.
The pain’s so great, he nearly keels!
Oh, yes! He’s a tenderfoot!
~
Samson had a weakness too;
My dad’s is hidden in his shoe.
And though it’s sad to say, it’s true:
Oh, yes! He’s a tenderfoot!
~
My daddy’s feet are a blinding white;
Their ghostly hue is quite a sight;
The Blackfoot tribe would have a fright!
Oh, yes! He’s a tenderfoot!
~
Ooching and ahching across the lawn,
Flailing and bending like a wide-mouthed yawn,
Or a ballet dancer with too much brawn.
Oh, yes! He's a tenderfoot!
~
Now, I love my daddy, don’t get me wrong.
And I realize my poem has grown rather long,
So here I’ll end, though I could go on!
Oh, yes! He’s a tenderfoot!
