Hopping Mad by Daddy Papersurfer – the poem, not the lovely sculpture which is by David Kemp.
“The Wellington boot is a wondrous invention!”
I yelled as I hopped down the lane
“But if I had two, the extra protection
Would let me be normal again.”

If only it was that easy ……??
Sometimes it’s the littlest things …….. I live in hope …… tee hee
‘Sometimes it’s the littlest things’ *snigger*
Grumph …….
Bwa-hahahahaha sis… I nearly jumped out of my fraccy pants when I read that last line, intending to be so brilliant and post something like, “All the boots in the world couldn’t possibly make you normal again…” only to find that you said exactly what I didn’t think of but wish I had. Shorter and to the point.
‘Tis why I <3 you so… you really are like kin, I can always count on you to say exactly what I was thinking!
Mwah! (You genious goddess, you…)
I’m going for a walk ……..
With only one boot? Be sure to go sockless on the bootless foot… that way, you won’t have ruined a good sock in the muck. (This of course, assumes you do wash your feet and thus, the dirty foot would recover…)
Do you have rules for absolutely everything? ……. *starts cleaning fridge incase there’s a surprise inspection*
Ha! Great installation – I love it!
A nice ‘accidental’ find on the interweavy thingy …..
hmmmmm…
Have you managed to chew through that electrical wiring yet Nooter?
Errr, ahhh… lovely poem DP. Perhaps your lacking a second boot is just that b—h karma getting even with you for taunting me with one flip-flop lo these many years?
Yeah… see… life is such a circle now, isn’t it?
(I still <3 you anyway though, 'cause I'm just loverly like that and all…)
Swings and roundabouts indeed young Fraccy ……
LOL, sure… my other comment went to your moderation bin. Now I suppose it’ll be there for hours whilst you nap and eat gingernuts in the shed. Sheesh. The things I go through here…
How did you know I was in the shed!!!!?!!!!
Great sculpture but I feel we need to see the YouTube vid to really appreciate the poem (perhaps your Fracretary could also make a cameo appearance, working title ‘Hopping and Flopping’)
Now, that’ll take some organisation …… *pops on thinking cap – which no longer fits*
would that be like a rubber swimming cap thinking hat like ting???
Why have you gone all Irish now? ………
not completely as I would have said ‘loike ting’
[been wit a colleague from Ireland all day today .. it must have rubbed off on me]
You’s a parrot ……..
*takes a look*….. I don’t tink so??
The only cameo appearance I’d make is likely the one where they catch me ’round the corner, giggling uncontrollably at this marvelous twist of flip-flop-fate that’s befallen him.
I knew this would get tricky ……..
Dp, I’m beginning to think you’re the reincarnation of Edward Lear.
If only – thank you Sledpress …….
