Two Pair of Shoes

I met a young lady in our local bar She was a beauty as most of them are When closin' time came we walked arm in arm To my old pickup just fresh off the farm I drove to her place not far from the square She said it was quiet and peaceful there She went to change while I watched the news I saw under her bed two pair of shoes My eyes flashed forward toward my own fate The shoes were fourteens and I wore an eight I left there that night a fear in my heart Praying out loud that my pickup would start I dream sometime of the beauty I'd seen And two pair of shoes that said size fourteen 8/1/2017 For contest Two Pair of Shoes for John Lawlwss

Very astute observation on your part, great poem on the contest prompt, guess I have no imagination, the prompt didn't work for me, but glad you made the winners circle!
