Too Many Pairs Of Shoes

T oo many pairs of shoes

O nly wore them once

O nly wore them twice

 

M y shoes are cluttering up my closet

A n abundance of stelettos and high heels

N o place to rest my slippers at the end of the day

Y es, I have quite a collection of penny loafers but I'm lacking common sense

 

P ardon me, I have too many pairs of shoes

A pair of tongs I wore to the beach have a broken strap

I  should throw them out but I keep them anyway

R iding boots, hiking boots, winter boots and cowboy boots

S o many pairs of boots to choose from, think I'll wear my tennis shoes

 

O f course I have a pair steel-toed shoes just in case I need them

F lat shoes, square-toed and pointed shoes, too many shoes

 

S hoes for every season, they come in every color

H andmade by a cobbler, or manufactured

O pen-toed shoes feel so comfy on my feet

E xtra wide shoes, narrow shoes, just my size shoes

S hoes I've never worn and shoes that I've worn out

Excellent! Very nicely done. Too many choices makes a choice so simple yet so complicated. I love teh fact some are never tossed out, like the memories that they helped create!

I like this! Thanks for letting us walk a mile in yours! haha - Very cleverly written - good good word usage.... This would make a fun advertisement for shoes - we need some of everything. I happen to love shoes more and more.

A problem with which so many are plagued, even the male species. I know a male shoeaholic that will give you a run for your money. I have a hard hat you can pair up with those steel toed ones. Would make a beautiful emsenble. Could even add a diner bucket for a purse. How we torture our poor feet to be fashionable and buy it because it was on sale, maybe if they stretch just a little. No matter how many pairs we accumulate, there is always that one favorite pair. Loved this humerous tribute to our favorite hobby, collecting shoes.

Sounds like a good description of relationships as well. Well done. But as a pig, I don't wear shoes. Pants either. ;)

this is unique. I''ve never been the type of girl to go shoe crazy, but functionality is important. Dress shoes, work shoes, tennis shoes to get dirty when you're doing work around the house, and of course.. gotta have my sandles. I'm the one wearing sandles in 3 inches of snow :-D

but i must say the best shoe is.... no shoe. there's something about the grass against my feet that i have a hard time giving up...

lovely write.

Surprisingly I liked this. Good use of words and by you saying you need this and that. Quite entertaining. Now I know what girls think for shoes lol.

this one seems like a piece you had fun with. And just so you know - you can NEVER have to many shoes :P
