My Hatred Of Flip Flops
You're the worst type of shoe
Uncomfortable,
Flimsy,
Fragile,
Squeaky,
Your strap that’s supposed to hold the shoe together
Breaks apart like a hangnail
waiting to be ripped off.
Your soles make my feet hurt
As if I walked across the desert barefoot.
When you get wet you give me a headache
The squishing and sloshing of the water as I walk
Makes me want to chop you up into little pieces
And burn you until you're reduced to ash.
But even then people love you
Because of how easily you slip on and off.
But still to me,
You're the worst type of shoe to exist.

I am taking a creative writing class at my school. One of the the assignments was to write an ode or anti-ode. I choose to retire an anti-ode about how much I hate flip-flops. I had nerve read a poem about hating flip-flops so I thought it would be unique and an interesting topic to write.
