Tinker Art: Sunday Scribblings

This week's Sunday Scribblings writing prompt is Shoes. (Click on the Sunday Scribblings link to see everyone else's scribblings about shoes- and our previous topics - I believe this is the sixth theme the group has written on and there have been some really great ones! It's still open to new writers, if you'd like to join us.)

I Got Those "Baby Needs a New Pair O'Shoes" Blues*

Incantations to the four fickle Fates,

those fashion goddesses of attired feet,

Gucci, Ecco, Nike, Ferragamo's:

Clothe our dogs in clogs or jellies;
Sandals, slippers, mules,
espadrilles or wedgies;
high-heels, open-toes,
pointy-toe stilettos.
boaters, deck shoes, runner's, high-tops,
ankle-straps, backless flip-flops
oxfords, loafers (with & without pennies)
flats, boots, skates, trainers, tennies

I went to the ball with my dancing shoes on,
but someone with two left feet,
stepped on my blue suede shoes,
made me afraid I might fall
and made me lose the beat;
so I changed to my glass slippers -
then lost one leaving the ball.

I ran home in my reebok's
(princess running shoes),

to put on my boots and go back,

'Cause these boots were made for walking

and that's just what they'll do...

hit the road running, jack.

One of these days, I'll come walking,
strutting, striding, stalking -
hiking, biking, jogging, skipping
tottering on stilettos without tripping

back to where I can dance and prance,

reeling to the feeling with romance -

let down my hair and kick up my heels

till I'm good and ready -

To click my heels 3 times and go home;

kick off my glittering ruby diamond shoes

and put my bunny slippers on.
