A Bad Day At the Eye Doctor's- a True Story

"It was 6 or 7 years ago Or so I'd like to think I traveled to my eye doctor.. (I should'a seen a "shrink"!!) My dad and I we awaited In a filled up waiting room Patients all a'seat Magazines all askew There wasn't much to say there There wasn't much to do... Slowly I did notice Some odd glances made at me... Some hand-covered conversations... Some smirks I seemed to see It made me feel self-conscious They seemed fixed looking at me in my seat When slowly I did realize... That they were staring at my feet... I looked down, and to my horror And much to my surprise... A sight I could not fathom... I could not believe my eyes!!! For one foot was well fitted with tennis sneaker white... The other a black dress shoe It was a startling sight!!! Now I found how hard it was to hide one's mismatched feet I wished to God to run out And escape onto the street I was red with great embarrassment and shocked how stupid I could be! Had I been that darn sleepy? Or could I just not see? Then it slowly dawned on me, Well, darn it, here I sit.... Proves I need an eye-doctor... and I don't give a sh__......."
