FOOTMARKS

While mopping the porch floor this morning My anger was visibly showing; I seem to spend hours Cleaning footmarks I get From those who are coming and going. On later reflection, I’m lucky That visitors here are so keen; For the thought crossed my mind That despite muddy marks, What’s worse than no footmarks to clean? Sylvia Smith, Walsall, W. Mids.

Homes built for jacking up higher On flood zones would help them stay drier. But isn’t it worthwhile To make them mobile? Then residents could check on each tyre! Ivan S. Thomas, Ryde, Isle of Wight.
