When you take a look at your pedicured feet
You visualize the perfect pair of shoes to accessorize your ensemble.
You’ve seen commercial for shoes at a steal,
So you head out to catch the deal to Payless.
But you’ve been bamboozled!
What do you expect?
Not quality, but plastic,
Hard fitting shoes that will fall apart at the slightest wear and tear.
Leave these shoes there!
.
So you plan on going to your favorite shoe outlet
Where you know there’s a variety of shoes that will possibility meet
The requirement of making you
A lady that no one can beat.
You walk down the aisles carefully glancing at prices
As to take in all the latest they have to offer.
Then you scuff at the barren few they have in your size.
Such demise!
.
You politely ask one of the sales clerks to assist you
And ask him if this is all they have.
He informs you
That they only order a certain amount per the manager’s request –
5-10 of each in that size at best.
But look at them!
They’re ugly!
.
And you wouldn’t be caught dead with something so monstrous on your body.
You don’t even want to try them on for size.
Doesn’t the sales clerk realize that you are selective?
You aren’t looking to rescue the rejected.
It’s your feet that have to be subjected to a life with ugliness.
.
“Are you kidding me?”
Is the response that utters out of your mouth
Because you realize that there were others just like you looking about
For the exact shoe,
But they must’ve come ahead of you and found the perfect shoe.
What to do?
.
So you gather your things and your pride
And it’s right then and there you decide to enlarge your options;
You must go to the Shoe Department
And take a gander inside.
As you step foot into the destined place
You have pleasant smile that creeps upon your face
At the possibility that you will finally find your match –
The perfect shoe intact.
There are meticulously placed displays of shoes in all categories and arrays,
But you take a look at the price you have to pay
For happiness with dismay.
.
Here is the question you now have to pursue in order to acquire the perfect shoe for you:
Will you take a risk on a cheap fit that won’t last?
You realize that if you go down this route and path
That shoe may look good for a brief while.
But, then with weather and normal wear and tear
It looses its shape and style and causes your feet to suffer.
You hurt everywhere.
.
How about purchasing a shoe that you have to buy a mask?
When you pick the ugly shoe,
You are always embarrassed and looking –
You ask if there is something better to put on for size.
You make excuses about the purchase
And realize that you never take them out of the closet.
You never want to flaunt ugliness.
It’s not even worth it!
.
What about the shoe that cost too much?
Isn’t quality and a good fit a must in any relationship?
When you have to dig down deep into your pocket
Because you realize that you must rock what you have invested in.
In the end, your feet must win!
