Shoes, Shoes, Shoes, I love to say the word.
Some might say I'm weird, others just a nerd.
I love to spend many hours, in my closet bare.
Trying on my shoes, its become a love affair.
I keep them all so charished from year to year to year.
Never to be worn again pairs, just to have them near.
Shoes tell our stories each pair of different times and places.
Pulling out a pair, you'll see reflected in our faces.
The bright red pair speaking of a sexy wild night.
The low black pair very telling of a friends burial site.
The bright pink pumps trying to make, a woman from a girl.
Trips to the shore for a love affair, the sandals made of pearl.
The five inch heals help make the short girl stand so tall.
She can take on the world, the bitches at work, no job to big or small.
They make our legs look great, make us feel sexy, tall, and thin.
The give us a courgae to face the day, that comes deeply from within.
The lepaord print, the leather mules, the sling backs, and the flats.
Varried colors, styles, and shapes the pairs that match our hats.
Men give us greif about the number, some things they'll never understand.
Shoes complete the outfit, tell our story, make life easier to withstand.
