Respect For The Shoe

The things I have to put up with because of you humans How would you like it if you didn't get cleaned , every day I would be fuming Do you think I get a day off , think again I must put my foot down I must remind you of all the stuff I have the pleasure of stepping on when I stroll the town When I get soaking wet could you please put me somewhere to dry Next time you kick something on the street , think of my pain , I want to cry It would be nice if you would shine me up when I start to get dull Especially if I have become the target of a seagull When I become old and tired iI know you will dispose of me Please show me some respect and allow me to retire with dignity Speaking as a representitive of my fellow shoes Life would get alot tougher if we got up and walked away , then what would you do

Hi John, this is so clever, what would we do if our shoes got up and walked away? I will have to treat mine more carefully now :)
