I don’t want a facelift to look young again.
I don’t want to diet to be a size ten.
I don’t want a sex change to call myself Ken.
I just want comf’table feet.
I don’t want an implant for a 44A
I don’t want a lipo to suck fat away.
I don’t want my colon flushed out in a tray.
I just want comf’table feet.
I don’t want to laser the hair on my chin.
I don’t want a botoxed permanent grin.
I don’t want a belly that’s nipped and tucked in.
I just want comf’table feet.
I don’t want to spend a fortune on bling.
I don’t want a piercing to wear a nose ring.
I don’t want a tattoo on my ding-a-ling.
I just want comf’table feet.
I don’t want hypnosis; I don’t smoke or drink.
I don’t want my skin peeled and find I can’t blink.
I don’t want advice from a personal shrink.
I just want comf’table feet.
I don’t want a massage while covered in clay.
I don’t want a smoothie of seaweed each day.
I don’t want to hear what the experts might say.
I just want comf’table feet.
Feet with new arches; feet that can dance.
Feet that can ramble from here to France.
Feet that don’t rest on a stool every chance.
I just want comf’table feet.
Author notes
Just want to say that in my neck of the woods the word 'again' is pronounced 'agen'

Well I wouldn't mind some of the other stuff as well as comfy feet. We do take our feet for granted though I think at some time or other we oldies find we have various unexplained aches and pains in our feet and then realize how much we use and need them.
My sister had a foot problem, planters something or others, I remember her saying she would never ever complain about walking her dogs again if only her feet would get better.
They did get better but being human she still found other things to complain about ha ha
good rhyme and rhythm throughout

Fun write with wonderful rhythm, rhyming and meter. It's been a whole since I've read your poems, but I am glad to have found some today.

I could say more but that would not improve on Excellent

This is hilarious and, boy, do I agree with you! Oh, and again is pronounced "agen" in my part of the world also.
Great stuff,
Bill

You made me laugh and laugh again and again and over and over. You have put wonderful words to exactly how I fee. My son recently told me I have the ugliest feet in the animal kingdom and I agree, Lots of fun. this poem is a sure winner and needs to be shared with folks everywhere. five stars...no ten.

AMEN TO THAT
Great rhyme and rhythm that flowed nicely. A very underestimated piece of equipment are feet and very much taken for granted --until something goes wrong. If your feet hurt it shows just about everywhere especially the face. A good take on the competition title
hope it wins

this is wonderful. It had me smiling ... but truth be told I would like all of those things and wish that we didn't need a colon. Nothing but trouble if you ask me. I would like bigger feet ... mine are small and I think they cause me to be off balance.
I look forward to your next entry. -
Brilliant!
I love this poem! It's well written and well rhymed, and damned funny! This flows so well you could put music to it. I can just see the Muppets doing it now. However, there is one thing that surprises me . . . . the comment about your ding-a-ling. However, perhaps I am trapped in antiquated euphemisms!
