Lost Sole

I saw a high-heeled shoe today Abandoned in the street And wondered how its owner walked With such uneven feet. Perhaps if she were fairly drunk, (Enough to lose a heel) Her teeter-totter gait might not Be something she could feel. I hope that her companion Was a gallant type of fella So both shoe and gal would find Their soul-mates, just like Cinderella.

Ha! Ilene, great poem, and once in a while you do see those things where you wonder what the story is...

I would bet that if the woman who lost her heel could read this, she would think it was worth the loss! I loved it Ilene! Your poems always inspire and entertain leaving a smile on my face. Have a wonderful New Year! 7 ; )

We can only hope, Mrs Ilene. But knowing the younger generation, I doubt it! Happy New Year:)

thanks, jan! sometimes it's better if a mystery isn't solved. the speculation can be more fun, don't you think?
