Cyhydedd Naw Ban

My Black Crocs

My brother gave me two pairs of Crocs,
They are the color of lava rocks.

I put on my Crocs when I stay home,
Save my other shoes for when I roam.

The black Crocs are rubber, with air holes,
They are safe because of their nonslip soles.

Both pairs of Crocs appear just the same,
As did the boxes, in which they came.

Each Croc pair is a different size,
In this difference their beauty lies.
