My Shoes

Every girl dreams! Was it my fault! As I sat there watching TV, I really wanted them, My heart ached, As I begged and pleaded, Not giving parents rest, My mind was fixed, Programming mode, Or hypnotized! Whatever, I wanted them, My brain would not let up, Life couldn't continue, Every day for weeks, As soon as my eyes woke, Until I went to bed, I was focused, My aim was straight, Had I won the battle, Were my parents weakened enough, Yes! Yes! Yes, My Cinderella shoes with high heels, I put them on in excitement, Walked around a couple of times, The burning desire quickly subsided, Don’t remember wearing them again. Did I really want them? I wear flat comfortable shoes now. 25/08/2016 For contest sponsor Lewis Raynes

HA, yes, I understand that feeling exactly. I too have wanted those high heels and then once on my feet, they are just too uncomfortable to enjoy them. Also my dr. says I better not wear them becuase of my degeneration on my spine. So true. I got a bad problem trying to wear just small heels last year. Great poem.

I love the write, Wendy, you brought a thought. A few weeks back my 10 year old kept following me around the store wanting a pair of silver h-i-g-h heels... Please grandma.... Noooooooo... she carried them a while until she realize grandma was not going to get them. I always give in but not this time...:) good luck in the contest

Hi Wendy, I really enjoyed this write. I can remember wanted something really bad as child, and once I got it I played with it a few times and through it in the closet. I'm with you with the high heels. Can't stand them lol! I wish of luck in the contest: -) Alexis

A most enjoyable read Mrs Wendy. Sounds like a typical child. I'm not sure any woman could honestly say that high heels are comfortable. Love the humor.
