ONE BLUE SHOE

ONE BLUE SHOE

I put on one blue tennis shoe

The low-cut kind. Then I went

Into the kitchen and washed

The window over the sink. I

Took down the curtains and

Put then in the washer. While

They were washing I straightened

Up the kitchen counter and

The spice cupboard. It looked

Pretty nice so I checked all the

Cupboards and made sure they

Were all in order. By this time

I was able to put the curtains

Back up. Everything looked nice

And was in order. I swept the

Floor and took out the garbage.

My friend came and asked why

I only had one shoe on. Because

The other one is in my car, but I’m

Headed there now. Where are

You going he asked. To Philadelphia

To patch up the crack in the

Liberty bell. You’ll do good he said.
