Centipede! A poem about shoes Moccasins and loafers Slippers, ropers Flip flops, high tops Slickers get you Puddle hops Mukluks, chukkas Sandals, thongs With the perfect sneaker You can’t go wrong Heels, steels Cleats and tap House shoes Are for when You’re done with naps Shoes for bowling Skates for rolling Soccer shoes go good When you go out goaling Swim shoes, stilts And even waders Running shoes are good For them see-you-laters Wing tips and oxfords Shoes when you ballet Working those pumps As you pay the valet Granny boots lace up Hiking boots race up A mountain full of Those blue suede shoes Riding boots for horses Golf shoes for courses Space boots for the race We’ll never ever lose When they’re getting snooty Babies wear their booties Wearing stilettos sometimes Will just get you cooties Do mules wear horse shoes? Do hush puppies be quiet? If you wear combat boots You’ll likely cause a riot. Shoes that are dyed Snow shoes really wide Rolling runners have a wheel You can pop up and hide Wear platforms feeding hogs When dancing sport your clogs Walking shoes are good When you’re walking all your dogs Duck shoes on a boat And boat shoes on a duck Buster Browns and Mary Janes Cost alotta bucks These fifty pairs of shoes Wear them as you choose But I’m a centipede Fifty pairs of shoes I need! I wear them all at once Nothing else would suffice I do have so many kinds And I never wear them twice! Now I change a diaper Forty-nine are for my wife Soon as our baby grows up Shoes'll be her life What’s that I hear? The pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter of one hundred feet? IT’S TIME TO SHOP FOR SHOES! It makes a centipede’s life complete! --- [This message has been edited by wayoutwalt (09-14-2002 10:48 PM).] |
