Stinky Shoes

There’s a fungus among us
It’s funky no doubt.

It’s creepy, it’s crawly
and I’m quite put out.

Tennis shoes, Gym shoes,
Golf and football cleats.

Snow shoes, walking shoes,
rain shoes and sleets

Running shoes, Sunday shoes
Bedroom shoes galore

All strung out and stinky
In your room on the floor

You had me laughing out loud, Charles! It started with the first line and continued all the way through. What causes some people's feet to smell so badly? It's funny because we've all been around friends who take off their shoes and we wish they hadn't! Love, Carolyn
