1946 Florida Sand In My Shoes Poem

This 1946 vintage postcard promotes Florida as a cheerful and idyllic destination. It features a poetic verse praising the state, alongside a colorful beach scene with palm trees, children playing in the sand, and a woman shaking sand from her shoe.

Sand in My Shoes
FLORIDA

The sky is ever bluest
And friendship is the truest
And enemies the fewest
    In Florida

Evergreens are greenest
Beach sand is the cleanest
And bungalows the neatest
    In Florida

If the sand gets in your shoes
Shake it out where'er you choose
And you'll never get the blues
    In Florida

The rhyme scheme and cheerful imagery reflect the optimism and simplicity of travel culture.
