Shoe Shopping Blues

28 Nov 2013

Help me somebody! My feet's too big!

I went shopping for some shoes and my feet's too big!

Korean feet are small; their little toes are neat 

I tried on loads of shoes but they all were too petite

So where's a girl to shop when her feet's too big?

That sublime moment
The headache lifts, the heart sings
Hope seems possible

Eating cake and drinking coffee

At the oddly named "Manoffin"

Does its motto tell you something?

"How are you feeling?

Answer: "Muffin"

Supermarket lunch
Tabasco, lemon, oysters
Three slurps and they're gone
Poetry Pose

This is my poetic pose

Feet up on sofa with sunny toes

I will adopt a different pose

Should I choose to write some prose

Autumn Bling

Autumn, in her final fling

Her role as artist's model spurns

And shedding off her raiment gold

With painter's brush turns all to bling
