Cinderella

——————————————-

Perhaps because I could never

find shoes I liked that would fit me

size 12 and cute, I mean never,

*

out of frustration it hit me;

if I want colorful footwear

departing the mall is the key.

*

To procure some footwear with flair

I need to get to the greenhouse.

I find all the shoes I want there.

*

Don’t have to match these shoes to blouse,

slipper orchids are quite divine

just need these shoes from the hothouse.

*

To them I make a quick beeline,

They are sure to fit every time.
