Making feet for baby shoes

Jareth Armstrong

stalking along the carpet 

          sullied socks abound  

                     the sounds of the grunters 

                               gnashing all around 

 

once a room for sleeping 

          until the ruckus ensues  

                    two bedroom-athletes in the dark 

                              making feet for baby shoes 

 

peeping through the blinds 

          is the moon out in the street 

                   that big ol’ pie faced pervert  

                               trying to peep your sheets 

 

but we’re just little love bugs 

          it’s okay for us to see 

                     these magic little moments 

                                between 8pm to 3
