The Story Of A Shoe Poem by Zubaida Boland

i'm a pink boot
walking around the zoo
and i hear the hoot
of an owl
calling my name
i wonder how

i'm a high heel
dancing in a party
with a group of friends
including lace-ups,
flats and wedges

i go shopping the day after
and soon i find myself crying
because my human friend
is buying another pair to wear
oh my god
she just opened the box
and showed me the pair
i can't belive it that
she's putting m off
and trying them on
i'm so dead '
coz if she buys them now
she'll never wear me again
and i might be thrown away
oh no no no.
