Ode to My Shoes
From the tip of your tongue
To your very sole.
You support me wherever I go.
And if I sometimes take you off
I hope I’m not putting you off
We’re too tightly laced together
For that.
You have uppers
But you never take them.
And if I need a toe
You have two of them.
You’re made by last,
And we’re made to last
Even though I walk all over you.
I won’t give you the boot,
Shoe.
You’re so important to me
I can barely stand it.
