I have news, it's just a ruse - LINE COUNT 40 |
I want to get rid of my shoes. Let the sand caress my feet What's the point being on the beach If I'm denied this treat? I want to get rid of my shoes. When I'm dancing on the grass My skin needs to feel the dew Not an artificial sole, alas! I want to get rid of my shoes. To be quite close to nature My niece heard me say it often And thought, "My aunt, I must placate her." My niece, all of five years old Bold, with a heart of gold Sometimes does as she is told At other times? (Let my tale unfold! ) My niece, hearing my lament Decided she would be kind I was all dressed up for the event But my shoes I could not find! "Where ARE they?" I cried out loud And everyone began to look We searched high, we searched low In every cranny and nook. "I'm hosting the evening, I can't be late!" I yelled, making everyone scurry "I have to set up, I have to welcome I really have to hurry!" "Get in the car," my sister said "I'll take you to a store If you can't find this pair of shoes We'll just buy you some more." In my socked feet I climbed Into the passenger seat And there, wrapped in cellophane Were my shoes, oh so neat. She'd meant to donate them Help me and help someone in need I wanted to get rid of them So she was doing both a good deed! |
