Shoes

Steady in my walk Taking it in stride As I compliment my feet With the latest style There's a gazillion of them out there Doing what they do If you haven't figured it out by now I'm talking bout the shoe They come in many styles and dazzling colors Giving us the widest choices Some even come with tongues But have yet to find their voices Although the tongue still flaps at times The shoe it does not show The ignorance that comes with it Unlike some people that I know Another marvel of the shoe Is that it has a sole Unlike men when it wears thin You can replace it on the go In NYC they prefer the high heels In Florida the famed flip flop Nothing beats a good boot in Texas When you dance that Texas stomp So won't you join me in this tribute To the shoe cause there's no other Which should be praised for the lives it's saved In it's major role as a stink foot cover

Lol, great tribute to the shoe Mike…love the analogies in this poem of the tongue and sole of the shoe! How did you guys fare after the hurricane moved across Jax, Fl. btw?:)
