Skipping To a Different Beat

Mary skipped to a different beat You could see it in her funny feet One shoe off, the other on One sock green, the other brown... She did her homework in the john TV, computer, and radio on Excelled in school at irrelevant classes ~ Shining shoes of cloth and threshing molasses

Shiny shoes will make an excellent first impression, but does it all stop there?

Perhaps it grinds to a complete halt with the threshing of molasses! lol. Peace, Gershon

I think it all boils down to the unwritten line in the song of songs: Who put the bop in the bop-she-bop-she-bop? Who put the Skip in the Skippy Peanut Butter? Who put the ram in rammalammadingdong? ... ~ peter pan

You just know Mary will be president of some faraway country that's seen better days, and her subjects will be shoe shine perfectionists.
