Shoes and fruit

Silly thoughts that occupy my mind

I stopped off at

The local mart

For a pair of shoes

And some fruit

 

You see my feet

Needed clean new protection

From the dangers a lurk

At my place of work

 

And this heavenly body (said smiling)

Craved some substance

So I gave it healthy

Exactly what it deserved

 

Shoes and fruit

A winning combination

You did well for a bloke, going shopping for 2 things, I do best with a list on one. ..or the fruit just crop up later. Fun write,

I love the humor of this line: And this heavenly body (said smiling). :x

[Michael G. Smith]

Thanks, I've been known to be funny once in awhile.

Good to know that. Humor is something a poet should never lose. :x

Nicely combined--I like the relationship between the two unexpected items. It works. Well turned, especially like the simplicity of the opening stanza. Only for me -- my transition at "dangers of a lurk" slowed me up.

It did seem odd to me that I thought they like they fit together. Sometimes I don't if these thoughts are a curse or blessing?

Fruit to nourish, shoes for comfort... sound like a good day! Random slices of life like this make fun poems. :)

That's what I thought. This poem is like an episode of Seinfeld. What did I do today? I bought somes shoes and fruit. Well there's a poem about nothing. Lol

Looks like you can get anything at your local market. I've bought both shoes and fruit at Target.

[Michael G. Smith]

And free lunch on the samples.

hmmm... lol You buy your shoes where you buy your fruit? You must shop at Walmart.. lol

Line #3 I think may have an error? read it out loud..

Also I think the two commas you have there should be removed. they have no purpose and are distracting.

Nice poem.. shallimar

[Michael G. Smith]

now why wouldn't you assume its Target or Cosco? but you're right again Walmart.

[shallimarRose]

well you sat Mart..lol

[Michael G. Smith]

I was trying to hide it silly. Now the whole world knows and WalMart could sue me, lol
