Red like shiny rubies

Squeezed into my favorite heels at the dance

Painted blue like a clear sky

In my favorite flip-flops at the beach

Any color I want them to be

Different shades of purples and greens

Dig them into dirt

Slide them into mud

Draw pictures with them in the sand 

On vacations to Cape Cod

Some could say they’re long and awkward

Some could say they’re creepy

But regardless of what anyone says

I couldn’t love my toes any more or any less
