What Fits That - unintendedpoetry editedbytiny

in #poetry7 years ago (edited)

The conversations at @thewritersblock discord server regularly deliver surprising little pieces of art. In this case, I dunno what happened. We were talking about firemen, and firemen's uniforms, and then shoes... @AKsounder is having some new shoe review coming up and he mentioned that. Plus, he's a firefighting machine who wears a cool uniform and knows why.

But back to the shoes. I haven't had a pair of shoes I like in nearly ten years. So I was interested. These new wool shoes sounded like something I might enjoy. BTW you want to follow @AKsounder just on general principles, even if you aren't into shoes. But especially so you won't miss his review on these new environmentally sound wool shoes.

Anyhow.

One of the moderators, @tinypaleokitchen, was taking notes. Somehow she captured me saying things like the following:

narrow heel
wide balls
long toes.
what fits that

socks

socks fit that.

I do have some small amount of trouble finding shoes that not only fit, but also aren't heavy. But socks have never posed a problem. Incidentally, @AKsounder (the firefighting machine--you did follow him, right?) says these new shoes are comfy without socks. But that is about all he would say. I have to wait for the review, just like you do.

It's always an honor to be #editedbytiny. Hell, it's an honor to be edited by anybody. That way I at least know someone read my words. Now that I mention it, if you enjoy being edited you might want to check out the Writers' Block on discord. The finest folks on the planet, from all over the planet. You might find that you fit right in.

Gratuitous Imagery

Okay, I started to take a photo of my socks both on and off my feet. But that's too much trouble. So here is a cartoon I did about our current state of distraction. 'Cause everybody knows you need an image with your post. But I am too lazy to take a picture. So I made you this cartoon.

Have you ever noticed that it takes far less energy to just do something than to not do it?

I shoulda just took the picture.

I Want Your Upvote. I Want The SBD.

But I don't plan to keep it.

As is customary I will be transferring 100% of the SBD payout for this post to @tarc. Fighting the good fight against odds that seem insurmountable, @RhondaK and her staff are succeeding in a land where most would fear to speak out, much less do anything.

That was a really fun read, Jon. And for a really good cause! I love the unintended poetry pieces.

I was feeling kinda jovial when I put this together... glad you had fun!

Hilarious!
Always a pleasure to visit with you at the Block Jon. Thank you for the kind comments and heavy push to encourage those that read this to follow me.
But seriously people... listen to him. He's smart and writes great stuff, so you probably should follow me. 😉

EXACTLY MY POINT!

Follow @AKsounder. It's something worth doing. And read his last post Break The Silence. Definitely worth the time, and the upvote.

You are too kind my friend. Too kind.

I upbooped you, fren! Thanks for doing a heckin' great support of @TARC. As Steemit's Very Best Boy, I do you a commend.

Socks don't do a heckin' fit of pupper feet, even though lady hooman tries way more often than I do a like of.
