Rain has created paths of mud
at the local Art and Garden Show.
The vendors put up their tents of white
and hope people come in a steady flow.
The gates have opened and the people come,
visitors with hats, umbrellas and raincoats in tow.
Cute little sandles adorn their feet
as mud oozes between their toes.
Sundresses and tank tops, shorts and skimpy
skirts too.
It is always the footwear that catches my eye, it's true
Getting real gooey as they slip and slide in the muddy glue.
Some shoes with sparkles and lovely colors,
the flip flops are danty and cute.
Also seen are athletic shoes, clogs and even boots.
Painted toenails, ankle bracelets and toe rings,
all adornments of beauty.
Tracking along the muddy path
no matter how soupy.
