Went into our Walmart to buy me a shoe
Was told it's not possible I'd have to
take two
“But the left one's still usable with
a smidgen of glue
And look how they match up, they're
both really blue”
My buddy was waiting just down the
aisle
His expression was frankly quite more
than a smile
The sales rep was genial, her demeanour
held no vile
She was in fact practical on this
philosophical trial
“My right shoe's death freed it from
the nausea of smell
But the left one still sojourns in that
nauseating hell
It's condemned to freedom and has
chosen to dwell
On my left foot it begets life choosing
uselessness well”
The dear sales rep was no tart and
answered with flare
That compassion and mercy aught not to
bear
On one's need to look dapper when
buying one's wear
“Indulgence and pity is great sin if
you care”
Not a student of Jean-Paul while in
grips of the brass
This rep had weird leanings so my bud
showed some class
He asked for a left shoe cause his had run out of gas
The rep finally buckled and called him
an ass
We agreed to take one pair and split
them in two
Each paying our fair share but what
would we do
The receipts for a whole pair and we
each need one too?
“The world is deep” sort of whomped
us with our shoe
