I've always dreamed of having a special shoe place <br />So that every pair of shoes had their own shoe space <br />One by the other each pair would sit <br />Left by right in a perfect fit <br />There'd be no other place like it <br /> <br />People would come from far and wide <br />To gawp at these shoes placed side by side <br />Not thrown one on top of the other <br />Always looking for its brother <br />Part of an unsightly, messy clutter <br /> <br />My shoes sometimes leave their wondrous abode <br />To walk many miles down many roads <br />But always return to their own special spot <br />One into which they so easily slot <br />Their stately home, not some ghastly squat <br /> <br />It's always nice to have a dream <br />Where everything is nice and clean <br />Where shoes exist as ordered pairs <br />In a cupboard which still has room to spare <br />For brand new ones with a zany flair<br /><br />Alessandra Liverani<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-shoe-palace-humour/
