Rubik’s Cube, earth shoes, ant farms, they are all the same, <br />In one year out the next, public favor for a moment of time, <br />Only to suspended in Wall Street Journal’s stock limbo, <br />Projecting the stock’s decline. <br /> <br />Crocs were more than a statement they were ugly, <br />When you take a shoe from the Dutch boy, made of plastic, <br />Colors only Peter Max would love, and put it through a barrage of gunfire from M-16’s <br />You have the Croc shoes, -the founders thought it be fantastic. <br /> <br />All until a child wore them, and became stuck in an escalator, <br />Rory McDermott had his big toe nail ripped off because of the shoes, <br />The company would later says it is not the shoes, <br />Have you ever heard a toe nail that was ripped off when the foot would be enclosed, <br />In tennis shoe? <br />Unfortunately my wife has a pair, which was bought by her mom who lives in Colorado, <br />Crocs were hatched there, <br />Come to think of it, I saw Crocs galore <br />In every store, <br />On the feet of many, <br />Even the George Bush’s, (see buzznet web, Crocs with socks, that is so wrong) <br />Boy, I wouldn’t pay a single penny, <br />For them. <br />She says that they come in handy, <br />To go out on in the yard where the dogs do their thing, <br />Crocs, you are made for it, <br />To protect my wife’s feet from steeping on dog $#^@. <br /> <br />(11-5-2007) <br /> <br />Alas and Alack the Croc will be heading for Chapter11, <br />For some of us that would be heaven, <br />For it is a dastardly ugly shoe, <br />Who knew? <br />It is like tasting bread without leaven. <br />(amended)<br /><br />Joe Rosochacki<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/it-s-a-croc-of-sh-oe/
