Slippers

I like wearing slippers - not those as of in 'days of olde' but velvet, plush, fur lined,zip-up, velcro-fastened or slip on with a good rubber sole.

Winter time requires my 'granny' slippers - lined with lambs' wool, zipping up and covering my ankles. Summer sees me in a flimsier pair - a bit floppy and they 'click clack' as I walk - but not 'mules' as I'm not keen on those as they may cause an accident.

I have 'camper van' slippers that are robust and cosy - able to withstand those walks to the toilet block and giving my weary walking-booted feet some luxury.

For travelling I always purchase a new pair every few months. Now they must be a bit more discreet in navy or burgundy, so that I can come down to breakfast and walk around my room in them.

I become somewhat attached to certain pairs and am loathe to discard them, so very often these end up coming camping......sort of like having  'home' on my feet.

      I Like Slippers

      Plush velvet embroidered cuff

      To fit my feet with comfort.

      Velcro-fastened secure enough

      Make me feel at home.

      Snails have shells - I have slippers.

      Blue or burgundy my usual choice.

      Worn at home or worn away -

      Instant ease for weary feet.

      A good sole for walking out

      Twixt kitchen and garden.

      Trusty warmth for my toes -

      A sigh when I don them.
