Shoes Limerick Set

. . . and Fancy Free (Shoes Limerick Set) How I walk makes me wear out my shoes, so I buy many kinds, kept by two’s in my closet, and there I choose just what to wear matching clothes with cute shoes of same hues. But because of my back, I should not make use of good deals I have bought. Though a pair of nice heels to this poet appeals, it’s my flat shoes I must wear a lot. While at home, I do not have much use for my shoes, so they’re spared my abuse. In my house I can be my own self naturally. I’m in comfort and living foot “loose!” For SKAT's Contest: "Shoes"

I have figured out a way to make a grand entrance with my heels, I wear my flats till I get "there" then slip on those heels and I am good for like one hour, otherwise all my beautiful stilettos are very nice decorations in my bedroom, love you poem on shoes, good rhyming from a good rhymer,best of luck in the contest~~

haha, foot loose! very cute last line, sounds so carefree and fun--- You made me wonder though, you must like to walk a lot!! But it's so cool how you have matching shoes with your clothes-- me I am boring when it comes to that, lol --and you sure made writing limericks sound so easy and effortless, I'd be sweating if I had to write 3 limericks, lol! Enjoyed your take on Irma's contest-- :) I hope this places high! hugs to you :)

Hi, thanks for your comment on my poem "what is a day" The poem just came to me when reading †he words what good is a day somewhere. although I have written many a poem for my wife, this was not such a poem. I like this poem. It says much about the use of shoes. Flats are best for back problems. Take care. I hope something can be done for your back, Take care Jancarl
