Off The Top Of My Foot by Philip F De Pinto The opposite of sitting on a tac Is stepping on one with my foot The one I dropped on the floor Which was meant for the teacher Given I lived nowhere near a fruit market To buy her the traditional apple to put on her desk But I did live near a hardware store And so the tac made sense Whereas the apple did not And so what is a sure flunkie to do With his bloody foot But move near a drugstore So he can procure him a bandaid Before the pets file in With their cortlands 01/07/2017 Posted on 01/07/2017 Copyright © 2024 Philip F De Pinto Member Comments on this Poem Posted by Kristina Woodhill on 01/08/17 at 02:30 AM The gentle whimsy in this makes me consider where you might have been planning to give the teacher the tac. It is a resourceful student who can find the right gift, and how does one distinguish between self serving pets and good hearts. Perhaps only the apple knows. Thanks, Philip.
