Sneakers

When I started to jog Back in ‘75 (When so many of you Weren’t even alive) The choices of shoes You would wear on a run, For a woman, at least, Made the shopping no fun. Just Adidas and Brooks, And with limited styles, Were the options to wear As I chalked up the miles. Then came Reebok, but still, All the pickings were slim, So you’d see the same shoes On the streets or the gym. But that isn’t the case Anymore, as you know. The selection has managed To crazily grow. As I sit here and marvel At sneaker-clad feet, I will rarely, if ever, Detect a repeat.
