I’m not a maid from Lilliput,
I’m just a girl who loves the Earth,
I’m a first class, number one nelipot…
And love to live in a state of mirth!
What can you know of happiness?
If you close yourself off from the world?
Walk freely and you’ll feel real steadiness,
Unlike a flag that’s just been unfurled.
Oh the sands, they may be too warm today
And so, this might get a bit uncomfortable…
But still, I feel so much freer, like this, to play
And my tootsies are young and recoverable!
So if you want to really be free
become a nelipot just like me!
I found this word today on the We Drink Because We’re Poets Facebook page and couldn’t pass it up!

Actually my soles were so thick up until about 10 years ago. Hated wearing closed shoes. GrandMaman would scold me as a teen…”You are going to have cramps in your tummy !!!”
