Did I see a red hair vixen at several DSW’s? <br />A ‘canine’ with a fetish of shoes? <br />It can’t be. <br />Anyway it has; a wily fox outsmarted the bi-pedals taking their shoes. <br />I know that this fox has a German background, <br />She wasn’t a ‘desert fox’ I later found, <br />Was she related to General Rommel? <br />Anyway, to make a long story even longer, <br />This vixen cunningly stole pairs of shoes from people, <br />She could have stole them for toys, <br />-for her kits, or wear them in style. <br />Slippers, boots, and sneakers; <br />-she had taken them from various porches for awhile. <br />She tried and tried and tried, <br />To get the right shoes to fit. <br />The case was cracked when a forestry worker stumbled upon an astonishing scene in the woods: <br />-dozens of shoes lay strewn on the forest floor surrounding a fox's den. <br />Even more were discovered inside! <br />By the way, <br />'We found 86 shoes in the den and a further 32 in a nearby quarry, <br /> -where they like to play.' <br />What were the clues? <br /> Tiny little teeth marks on the shoelaces leads the Count to theorize that the vixen had <br /> been stealing the footwear for her cubs to play with. That, or she 'simply likes <br /> collecting shoes, ' say the locals. <br />And, really, who could fault a female for liking shoes? <br />Imelda Marcos had 2400 pairs in her ‘den’. <br />As far as the vixen correcting her ways. <br />Not a chance, <br />'More shoes have gone missing in the last few days.' <br /> <br />(6-18-09)<br /><br />Joe Rosochacki<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/imelda-marcos-doesn-t-compare-to-this-red-hair-vixen/
