Running In High Heels

Running in high heels I’ve wondered at times how it feels To run in a pair of high heels I’m sure it would be such a sight I’d wobble from left and the right And damn if I stepped in a hole I’d probably lose all control Go flying out off through the air Onlookers would laugh as they stare When seeing the mishap I’d found Me lying face first on the ground Enduring discomfort and pain While drenched by a cold winter rain Though no sense in being afraid I’m sure some would come to my aide And maybe, just maybe there’d be A pretty girl right next to me To offer me comfort and care Perhaps hold my hand while she’s there But that would just come in a dream If all of you know what I mean Now kept off my feet for a while It’s so hard to muster a smile But soon I know that it would end I would be brand new once again Besides, I don’t think I’ve ever seen A pair of high heels in thirteen And knowing of my fashion sense Those shoes would incur an expense And if Pradas don’t come in that size Then it’s now time that I realize That I’ll never know how it feels To run in a pair of high heels Dedicated to a friend who is in a bit of discomfort right now, hoping to bring a smile. Get well soon.

I smile as soon as I saw the title and then I read it and I giggled imagining seeing that person but then I kept reading it and I thought oh yes I'd be feeling real sorry for the pain :) Chris this made my lazy day and I hope your friend feels better :)

Thank you so much Akkina, I am happy you liked this one. Yes, it's no fun, that's for sure and probably a good reason why I don't wear high heels. : )

It is probably the same person...I did get her permission to post this before I did, didn't want to step on any toes. :) . Thanks so much Jan. I was just hoping to make her smile. And you are right, it is no fun at Christmastime or any other time.
