Disappointment At the Shoe Store

I go knowing exactly what I want
I am particular in my liking
Shoes must be comfortable to wear
For both dancing and for hiking

I know they say they flatter
But stilettos are not my fave
Let’s be honest, they hurt like hell
They’re only for the brave

Fiddly buckles, wispy straps
Both of these are just annoying
Bending down at my advancing age
Is something that I try avoiding

And I bet if you find a shoe that fits
They’ll cost a million dollars
Shoe shopping is no fun at all -
It’s such a bunch of cobblers
