"My blue riding shoe.... by RB"
oh blue riding shoe
how deeply I do love you
you’re old and so smelly
But I’ll wear you to the deli
on my big feet so lumpy
you’re soft warm and comfy
you make me look silly when I walk
‘specially on hard floors and frozen rock
you keep me clipped in
you help me to spin
you’re old faded leather
from all sorts of weather
you’re crusty and molded
and your tongue is all folded
But you’re my cross country buddy
who likes to get muddy
You know you’ve got real soul
and always ready to roll
so please shoe, don’t die
stick with me and fly
don’t rip or get torn
just be loved when you’re worn
and keep my feet happy
even when my ride is crappy
cause I’m slow, yes you know
but I still have to go
cause I love when I ride
and I love when we stride
I have been mean to you I think...
kicked you off, scuffed you, made you stink
but you know I love you, ya’ smelly ol’ shoe
wish we could hang out more; share a brew
remember the time I stepped in dog doo?
I knew that it had to suck for you.
So I dug it out with a stick
remember how quick?
Did you notice my shiver
while I swished you in that river?
Had to get you clean bud
‘cause we both knew it wasn’t mud
Enough about me though
this poem is your show
You always make me happy, and never sad
You’re the best shoe that I’ve ever had.
Have you hugged your shoes today?
Cheers,
RB
