Wearing House Shoes

I have these pink flops,

With striped white tops.

They’re called my “inside shoes.”

“Wear them, or wash,” my mom told me to choose.


Obviously, I chose to wear,

I don't wanna wash my socks!

FYI, brown is the color of my hair,

If I don't wear my shoes, my socks can become the color of my locks.


And I guess I could say,

I've grown quite used to it.

So now, it's easy for me to say “OK.”

I've started to love my inside flops, bit by bit!


And so if I don't wear them, I feel weird, almost naked,

Almost as weird as if someone shouted, “Hey, kid.”
