A Dilema Can You Help

I am invited to a posh do
But I don’t want to go
I don’t have any shoes
There’s not many people know

Shoes and me, do not mix
My only pair is ten years old
And now I am in a fix

They were bought for a wedding
But I was ill and never went
But now my shoes will not fit
On the new splint they have sent.

It is a Lords and Ladies do
My title I do have
But shoes, no I don’t 
And now I’m feeling bad.

I wear trainers everywhere
They fit on all my splints
I can’t do any dancing
Not even a short stint.

What do I do girls, should I even go? 
Or get out of it again 
That’s what I really need to know


I do not dress up ever
Because I have no shoes
But tiara and trainers
Is a look no-one wants to use.

I even got married in trainers, all covered in silk
Its not pity from you, that I am trying to milk.

Just what would you girls do?
If invited to posh do’s,
But looking in your wardrobe
You find you don’t have any shoes.

I believe that you'll find that the glass slippers will fit perfectly.
