A Day In the Life of High Heels
I went out for a walk today
Just enjoying the fresh air,
I was showing myself off to some friends
I felt like a perfect pair.
My bright red color shined
In the brightest of light,
Then something happened
It gave me the most terrible fright.
One of my teeth broke off
I got stuck in a sidewalk crack,
Everything was fine
Until I heard a "SNAP!"
This had happened to me before
I was rushed to the hospital,
The doctor said he couldn't help me,
But to go home and take a pill.
I had a splitting headache
I didn't know what to do,
It's kind of hard to eat
When you only have one tooth left to chew.
I got kicked around the bedroom
It's not my fault I lost a tooth,
I told those stinky feet that had me on
"Serves you right, you damn overweight goof!"
