Chicken Toes


Chicken Toes!
By Samantha Braaksma.
Inspired by Chicken Fingers by the author Glen Kirkland
(my great-uncle)

“Chicken toes” conjures up a bucketful of imagery

Do chickens point at the person who is painting their toenails?
Do they press the gas and stop pedal in the vehicles?
Does the toe jam get stuck after playing a sport and fails?

Do the girls brag about their toe rings?
Do they wear glossed shoes at a dance?
Do they rub their own toes? Do they use cream?

Do they leave their shoes inside so the house can get a air freshener?
Do they cut their toenails in a peanut butter jar?
Do they wear high heels just so they can be taller?

Just because there is no chicken toes
but chicken fingers.
There is still life so,
you will never know what will come your way.
