Big Feet

When the lights go down and the kids are asleep My spirit wants to party Tell that to my feet. My poor tired feet As big as they are Have carried my weight All night at the bar They're in a tough place they can't see my face they know I am there my mom called them “grace” They kicked and they clunked into doors, legs and chairs never meaning to hurt anyone that was there They were always too big I was always too tall Why didn't they make Size elevens at all? The poor things were squeezed In a 10 my whole life Til Payless arrived Making everything right! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gas prices getting you down?

well, this is getting kinda weird, I am a size 12 and my brother a size 13 and we always had worn out shoes that were streched or fixed with elastic material, so this is a mirror to my feet and a praise to those blissters, thanx. ;)Blessed be. Bellantony
