It was time to go.
I was almost ready.
I did not move slow.
I was fast as a jet zooming.
I took a quick bath.
I brushed all my teeth.
I put on my clothes.
And combed my hair neat.
I was going downstairs.
So that I could eat.
But first I had to.
Get shoes for my feet.
I'd wear my new shoes.
All shiny and red;
And sparkly too;
With thin straps of blue.
I looked on my dresser.
I looked on my chair.
I looked in the closet.
The shoes were not there.
Peered under the bed;
And around the floor;
Yet, I could not see
My new shoes anymore.
How could I lose
My beautiful shoes
So shiny and red
And sparkly too?
Then, I heard Mom say,
"Come downstairs.
Your breakfast is ready."
But I didn't care…
'Bout breakfast that is
I needed my shoes
So shiny. So red.
So sparkly too!
Oh where,
Oh where,
Could my little shoes be?
Where could I have left them?
Oh my!
Oh me!
I was taking long now;
No more speedy me.
I was going too slow now;
As slow as could be.
So sad and depressed.
I went down the stairs.
To tell mom my new shoes.
Had vanished some where.
But when I got down there.
My shoes I did see.
At the foot of the staircase.
Just for me.
I was so happy.
I was so relieved.
I grabbed them and kissed them.
And gave them a squeeze.
