Running In High Heels

Running in high heels

I’ve wondered at times how it feels
To run in a pair of high heels
I’m sure it would be such a sight
I’d wobble from left and the right

And damn if I stepped in a hole
I’d probably lose all control
Go flying out off through the air
Onlookers would laugh as they stare

When seeing the mishap I’d found
Me lying face first on the ground
Enduring discomfort and pain
While drenched by a cold winter rain

Though no sense in being afraid
I’m sure some would come to my aide
And maybe, just maybe there’d be
A pretty girl right next to me

To offer me comfort and care
Perhaps hold my hand while she’s there
But that would just come in a dream
If all of you know what I mean

Now kept off my feet for a while
It’s so hard to muster a smile
But soon I know that it would end
I would be brand new once again

Besides, I don’t think I’ve ever seen
A pair of high heels in thirteen
And knowing of my fashion sense
Those shoes would incur an expense 

And if Pradas don’t come in that size
Then it’s now time that I realize
That I’ll never know how it feels
To run in a pair of high heels  


Dedicated to a friend who is in a bit of discomfort right now, hoping to bring a smile. 
Get well soon.

I smile as soon as I saw the title and then I read it and I giggled imagining seeing that person but then I kept reading it and I thought oh yes I'd be feeling real sorry for the pain :) Chris this made my lazy day and I hope your friend feels better :)

Thank you so much Akkina, I am happy you liked this one. Yes, it's no fun, that's for sure and probably a good reason why I don't wear high heels. : )

It is probably the same person...I did get her permission to post this before I did, didn't want to step on any toes. :) . Thanks so much Jan. I was just hoping to make her smile. And you are right, it is no fun at Christmastime or any other time.
