The Shoe


Made of leather, 
and a little glue 
I was made 
just for you 

A perfect fit 
like no other 
You got your bunions 
from your mother. 

I hold your foot 
with steady support 
At the office, 
or basketball court. 

With sock in place 
and tied up laces 
you can go 
so many places! 



Even if 

your feet do stink 
They are wonderful, 

I think 

I am your shoe 
how do you do? 

Guess what! There's more! 
I come in two! 

One for the left 
and one for the right 
With me 

you can walk all night! 

And when you come home 
when the day is done 
let me air out 
for tomorrow's fun. 

I like your feet 
and also your toes 
I will protect them 
from nature's foes 


Pebbles, rocks, bees with stings 



pointy, prickly, dangerous things 
I will shield your feet from these 
So take care of me, if you please
