Ode To My Red Shoes

My Red Shoes are so old

the oxblood sheen had been so bold

The leather is cracked

And there's no going back

Through rain and snow and Virginia's glow

To Utah their death they did faithfully go

Buckles so silver and the eyelets had flair

You've out lived your usefulness, but it still isn't fair

I have loved my red shoes

Having to let go gives me the blues

They slip off and on so well

Utah air is much like Hell

Damn the Mongolian who stole my shoe wax.

Are you sure your shoe wax isn't packed away in our storage unit? Everything that I can't find seems to be hidden there. :(
