Millie Millipede - Nursery Rhyme

Millie millipede needed some new shoes for her summer holiday fun Disney cruise Her old shoes were tight making Millie hop so she went with mommy to the shoe shop Millie hobbled through the door and began to wail the poor shop assistant’s face turned quite pale because Millie millipede had got forty tiny feet so she sat Millie down on a comfortable seat The shop assistant summoned a little elf to fetch some shoe boxes from a high shelf and when Millie tried some shiny red boots she said, "These are wonderful substitutes" The boots were leather and had a thick heel for walking round Disneyland they’d be ideal With so many feet Millie needed twenty pairs so the elf assistant dashed up and down stairs Mom was given a discount when the bill was paid so they stopped at a café for sweet lemonade Millie wore her shiny boots all the way home stopping off to show them to her pal Ted gnome.
