They were carried
in my front door.
My neighbor’d been shopping!
Time to purchase peruse,
So I move,
To the bed
from the floor.

I had been
Standing to
Try new ear muffs.
Oh, those were nice!
They fit around the whole
Ear, more like full cover
Ear cuffs.

As I squirm a bit
And get comfortably seated,
Out of a bag come two boxes ---

Payless SHOES!!!!

My interest is heated.

She opens the boxes,
Talking a mile a minute.
I lean forward and glance,
Nonchalantly, into the box
To see what’s within it.

Ankle high boots --
My interest’s diminished.
Then my brain registers,
“I’m looking at gray suede ---
With a cute little something
Dancing in black towards the top”.

I struggle to control
The urge to look further,
But --- My eyes ---
Just Won’t Stop!

My eyes follow the lines of this boot
From the tip of the toe
To the heel ---- approximately 2 inches ----
To a five foot g-nome,
This point is not moot!

What my friend has been saying,
Over my head,
It all flew.
My attention so riveted,
By this cute little shoe.

Her rolling laughter
Causes me to jump.
I’d forgotten her presence!
So enraptured, I’d sat,
Like a lump on a stump.

“Try ‘em on”, she says
Through her huge grin.
“I knew you’d just love ‘em
And look at these I got
For when I go danc‘in!”

A lump no more -
Across the room, I fly!
Tazmanian zoom back,
Socks clenched in my hand,
I’m so ready to try!

Feets of mine,
Giddy - as they slide
Into those boots.

Crossing the room,
I tap into my long-lost
Feminine-ability-
With Full body agility
WHOOT!

Unique and playful...love it....

makes me want to see a picture of the wonderous boots

"i like that"

I feel like watching FOOTLOOSE!!!
And I wanna see 'em too

I would to see those boots!

Nice write i agree with what AngelLight said so wheres the boots

LMAO - Thanks Kimba - not only do I laugh when I read that comment of your's, the beginning of the theme song, won't leave my brain! Although, I don't think it would be conducive to the delicate heel on these particular boots or my fake linoleum wood flooring to "break out in the movie style" (you know I'd have to play the hicky boy that learns to move in the end!).

Hmmm, yes I spose I could take a picture of these. I wonder how many people think they've stumbled onto ebay with some of my pictures lately, that bread one looks like I'm selling a butter dish or a cutting board, lol.

The boots actually live at my neighbor's house with the allowance I can wear them anytime I want, as long as it's not when they're actually on her feet, which sense we're not a push-me-pull-you from Dr. Doolittle - makes perfect sense!
