A Talking Shoe Wish

If my shoes could talk,

And side by side walk;

It would be just awesome,

Sometimes irritating, but mostly fun!

When it's playtime after school,

My shoes would come jumping, as if so cool;

They'd shout and say,

"Come on, wear us, let's run and play!"

When tired I would pant,

They'd come up sneakily, like little ants,

Those sneakers would sit on my head,

And stubbornly not get off my bed!

Then sneakily, when they would be sleeping, I would,

tie their laces together, and let them be still.

Ha! What fun it would be,

To see them struggle to untie, I'll guffaw in glee!

But sometimes I wish, if talk they really could,

they'll make companions good!

We would chatter and not feel lone,

And have fun in our awesome playzone!
