Notes About The Poem

Two Pairs of Shoes

Fashion hound, that I am
I have shoes for every occasion
One black pair of Adidas
Probably made by some East Asian

I only have one pair of feet
Why would I need two pairs of shoes?
I can only wear one pair at a time
Besides, I'm easily confused

Should you ever find me out with two pair
And you happen to be in a bind
I am the kind of fella that shares
Just remember, the black Adidas are mine.

I just bought two pairs. If I mix and match them, that makes four pairs...

One pair of 'proper' shoes for posh occasions and sandals for everything else. Love this one Dan, short and succinct. God Bless. D.

I hope you don't have the same distraction when it comes to gloves. This is a great little bit of whimsy, Dan. Wonderfully done !

What I hate is discovering I'm out and about with mismatched shoes (at least mismatched socks hide well). Guess I shouldn't have fifty shades of footwear;-) Thanks for the morn'n chuckler! ~ j
