Joyce Johnson Poet Limerick

Favorite Shoes

A rising, young starlet named Ruth,
Unaware that it was uncouth,
Wore sneakers and socks
With her formal frocks,
‘Til Miss Manners taught her the truth.

Designers now over their shocks,
Are thinking quite out of the box.
Though they are annoyed,
They are duly employed
Sewing diamonds on argyle socks.


For Carolyn's Ccontest

Dr.Ram Mehta February 5, 2011 at 12:59 PM Very interesting and witty write, Joyce

Carolyn Devonshire February 5, 2011 at 12:21 PM Well as long as the socks have diamonds sewn onto them, I guess that would put the fashion police at bay, Joyce. Had a great laugh reading this -- I'm no rising starlet, but this girl and I have similar tastes in attire. Soup mail in a moment, dear. Love, Carolyn

Andrea Dietrich February 5, 2011 at 12:01 PM Yep that is exactly what they do when told they look bad, they just rebel and make it fashion! Some of the things passing for fashion. YUK!! Good one, joyce. LUv ,Andrea
