Robert L. Hinshaw Poet Limerick

My Dear Old Friends - My Shoes

I have a pair of friends I've had for years

     Should we part I would surely drown in tears

          Together we've trod byways

               Although we've seen better days

                    My scruffy old shoes that I bought at Sears

Ralph Taylor February 11, 2011 at 11:29 AM Very sentimental entry, Bob. Almost bought tears to my eyes (Ha Ha). Good luck my friend. Ralph

Andrea Dietrich February 8, 2011 at 11:39 PM I really like this one. I have a few shoes I feel that way about too.

James Tate February 5, 2011 at 7:07 PM Bob, no use for anyone else entering after that heart-felt rendition for Skat's contest. But I will look my shoe poem over soon. Thanks for your kind remarks on my poems. I'll watch for more of yours, Sergeant. You also remind me of my military days in the 137th FBW, Alexandria AFB and the 6004th AISS FEAF. S/Sgt, JET

Carolyn Devonshire February 5, 2011 at 12:34 PM Bob, I knew Selene had to be Vera. Thanks for stopping by and reading my work. You should do well in the contest with this poem! Love, Carolyn

Linda-Marie Sweetheart February 5, 2011 at 5:41 AM Super sensational Bob and good luck in the contest... my friend... the word SHOES must appear in your title luv.. so as not to be read early or disqualified ... good luck luv..

Carolyn Devonshire February 5, 2011 at 2:27 AM That's a cute one, Bob. I think my father used to buy his shoes at Sears; he wasn't much into fashion. Best wishes in the contest! Love, Carolyn
