Happy Feet


Nordic walkers
Are friendly souls,
Seen often out
With the Poles,
The Sikhs,
The Greeks,
The Japanese,
And nimble footed Lebanese,
The aristocrats,
The plutocrats,
The strident proletariats.


Nordic walkers
Rehearse their roles,
Walking briskly
On grassy knolls.
They set themselves
Specific goals.
Tread lightly
Over rabbit holes,
The hills
Of burrowing, blinking moles,
By wearing
Eco friendly soles.
