Dirty Shoes

Jabberwocky

On the sidewalk of my life;

She was a worthless piece of shit

And to my trouble and my strife

I did blindly step in it.

 

Where we walk will have it’s toll

On our soul as on our sole.

That’s all that’s left to think or muse

As I sit down to clean my shoes.

 

When they’re cleaned

They’ll look brand new

The same is sadly

Not true of poo.

 

(We are defined by what we do)

    When walking in your cleaned shoes just be careful where you put your feet.

    great read,
    I gravitate to the fun element you added (deliberately or not) to what is usually a dour topic

    Haha nice Jabberwocky, fun with some undertones. You don't often see many poems about poo. Probably because we're all told you can't polish a turd. But thank you here we see you've rolled it in Glitter!
