My shoes sound like a bear’s claws walking through the smooth floors. I don’t want to be barefooted because I don’t want my feet to be hot like a fire breathing dragon or cold like an ice bear. It smells like a garbage disposal, bad enough for all the bullies to keep at least twenty paces away from me.<br />I am still thinking about shoes that smell like "bad caramel ice cream." <br />Those time travel shoes are the BOMB!!Tabathahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14367572663591077922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8303906221917588052.post-332992358099977102015-06-20T14:56:35.958-04:002015-06-20T14:56:35.958-04:00I agree with Bridget -- there's no compliment ...I agree with Bridget -- there's no compliment like having generated so many ideas someone's head is going to explode. :-) Poetry Power!!Kerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07754424789728293252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8303906221917588052.post-53007549408281490822015-06-20T09:04:03.698-04:002015-06-20T09:04:03.698-04:00Thank you for all of this links in this series.
