Shoes

Frederick Kent

Ode
Oh shoes oh shoes
How are you always untied?
With you I always lose
Security to my foot has been denied

You could come off at any time
I don’t know what to do
And you’re only just size 9
Every squeaky step is a crime
I’ll have to get a pair that’s new
And everything will be fine
