Poem: Choosing Shoes:

New Shoes, new shoes,

Red and pink and blue shoes,

Tell me, what would you choose,

If they'd let us buy?

Buckle-shoes, bow shoes,

Pretty pointy-toe shoes,

Strappy, cappy, low shoes;

Let's have some to try.

Bright shoes, white shoes,

Dandy-dance-by-night shoes-

Perhaps-a-little-tight shoes,

Like some? so would I.But Flat shoes, fat shoes,

Stump-along-like-that shoes,

Wipe-them-on-the-mat shoes,

That's the sort they'll buy.

Frida Wolfe.
