Shoe Poems 004

"I bet you couldn't walk
a mile in these shoes",
How would you know?
Ain't got the faintest of clues.

The dribs and drabs
of my daily life,
the seething pains
and never ending strife.

Yet I'll lace them up anyway,
cause I've got bills and rent to pay.
Not only that
but I've got people to see
that's the difference
between you and me.

Sure yours are shiny
and haven't a crease,
but I'll still be wearing my shoes
when I'm deceased.

I won't pass them on
they're mine to bear,
I'll be sure to look after them,
they're my only pair.
