Shoes and Other Cliches

We're always waiting for the other shoe to drop,
but we never expect
it to crack the ceiling/floor
and plop on top
of the triple layer chocolate cake
sitting in the middle
of our dining room table.

We're always attempting to put
the shoe on the other foot,
as if the right shoe
could comfortable fit
on the left foot.

When attempting to stay on the ball,
we need take off our shoes
or we might lose
our loafers
to one of the neighborhood gophers.
