Jan Allison Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

My Shoes

My shoes contain two huge ‘plates of meat’ -
That’s cockney rhyming slang for my feet
My shoes can smell like ripe cheese -
Especially in a hot breeze
Without shoes feet would not be complete!

I like wearing shoes made from black leather
They keep feet dry in inclement weather
Daisy cow no longer moos -
Her hide was used for my shoes
My shoes not hers now walk in the heather!
