The Wrong Shoe

A late night out 
Followed by an early dash
Made getting too the office 
A complete and utter hash

My hair was stuck up like ‘Mary’s’ 
I was running late and in a rush
My shirt was half tucked into my trousers
Causing discomfort and a ‘jockey crush’

My fly zip was snagged and open
But the belt had saved the day
The hair on my tongue was festering 
Temporarily keeping the boss at bay

Just when I thought I was settled  
The day presented another ‘T do’
My feet were mismatched and adorning……
A black and a very brown shoe!!

I'm not a man, but I still appreciate the humor. Women do that odd shoe thing, too! Haha.
