Two Pair of Shoes

Limping Jack bragged that he owned two pairs of shoes,
though many people do,so no surprises,
but he stole them from a shop and never knew
that those out on display were different sizes.

I love that you are at the end of my list Viv. Not "He who laughs lasts" but "She who laughs at the last." Thank you as always.
