They're all the fashion
but my feet they ache,
if I'm not very careful
my ankles I'll break.
On pretty red tiptoes
I try to walk around,
but sadly I think
I look more like a clown.
My frame's tilted forwards
as I stagger along,
I think this fashion for me
seems somehow quite wrong.
Just another bizarre new fad
to take my money
and I know in reality
I look quite funny.
My slippers and trainers
will do just fine,
for these way out shoes
are just a wacky design.

Thanks!
You entered a fine write for the prompt! I liked the content, timing & rhyming. I know what you mean about trainers & slippers...always my first choice! A woman of common sense I see! You hit all the major points of the bizarre fashion industry in a fun way! Bravo...

Nice rhyming and your story had me cracking up laughing
good luck!

Who the hell could wear those? They look torturous!! I agree with your, give me my trainers and slippers! (tho I do nearly always wear a heel.. certainly not like that !! 
lol)
Great write hun!
-
How wonderfully lovely and true...I do believe only men design such things as these shoes and pantyhose...for no woman in her right mind would do such things to themselves or others...lol
Very cute and funny with wonderful flow and meter...great job as always my friend...
Best to you!
