Shoes

Steady in my walk
Taking it in stride
As I compliment my feet
With the latest style

There's a gazillion of them out there
Doing what they do
If you haven't figured it out by now
I'm talking bout the shoe

They come in many styles and dazzling colors
Giving us the widest choices
Some even come with tongues
But have yet to find their voices

Although the tongue still flaps at times
The shoe it does not show
The ignorance that comes with it
Unlike some people that I know

Another marvel of the shoe
Is that it has a sole
Unlike men when it wears thin
You can replace it on the go

In NYC they prefer the high heels
In Florida the famed flip flop
Nothing beats a good boot in Texas
When you dance that Texas stomp

So won't you join me in this tribute
To the shoe cause there's no other
Which should be praised for the lives it's saved
In it's major role as a stink foot cover
