Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

Lost Sole

I saw a high-heeled shoe today
Abandoned in the street
And wondered how its owner walked
With such uneven feet.

Perhaps if she were fairly drunk,
(Enough to lose a heel)
Her teeter-totter gait might not
Be something she could feel.

I hope that her companion
Was a gallant type of fella
So both shoe and gal would find 
Their soul-mates, just like Cinderella.

Ilene Bauer January 2, 2017 at 6:47 PM thanks, doug! yes, i've seen many single gloves on the street but not too many single shoes and it did make me wonder. best wishes for a happy new year...

Connie Marcum Wong January 2, 2017 at 12:13 AM I would bet that if the woman who lost her heel could read this, she would think it was worth the loss! I loved it Ilene!

Jan Allison January 1, 2017 at 6:17 PM Made me smile Ilene and the clever title is absolutely BRILLIANT!!!:-) Yes where is that other shoe - I wonder if you will ever solve the mystery ... but at New year I imagine it is a sight that can be seen in many a city:-( Ilene Bauer January 2, 2017 at 6:43 PM thanks, jan! sometimes it's better if a mystery isn't solved. the speculation can be more fun, don't you think?
