Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

A Shoe Eschewed

On his daily morning constitutional
    Carter stumbled on an old brown shoe

  Just one it was, and not a pretty sight
    Weeds peered from it, smeared with blight

  Carter picked it up, pondered a while...
    Tossed it aside ~ last year's style

John Watt November 16, 2022 at 9:35 AM Bless you! (Your title sounded like a sneeze...) Wonder if this is what the Beatles were thinking of when they sang "Old Brown Shoe". Always love your word play, my friend.

John Lawless November 14, 2022 at 4:11 PM it appears it had already be ....chewed....

Anselmo Boles November 14, 2022 at 2:28 PM I bet it wasn't his size and not NIKE either. Very funny indeed G.W.!...ab Gershon Wolf November 14, 2022 at 3:15 PM I'm 'sizing' your comment up, Anselmo, and I see that it's at the peak of the pile! Thanks, gw

Valsa George November 14, 2022 at 2:01 AM Glad he picked it up that no one else shall stumble on it again! Interesting, Gershon :) Gershon Wolf November 14, 2022 at 3:17 PM Ha, ha! Carter must have some kind of immune system to pick up a shoe like that! I certainly would have eschewed it. Cheers, gw

L Milton Hankins November 13, 2022 at 7:55 PM Hilarious! Marvelous! (still chuckling) Gershon Wolf November 14, 2022 at 6:08 PM Keep smiling, Milt!

Kim Rodrigues November 13, 2022 at 7:54 PM Carter’s not worried that it had no matching shoe, but the style didn’t suit him. Gershon Wolf November 14, 2022 at 6:09 PM Carter's into style... Understandable... lol
