Your smile for today….
As we stepped out into the rain
I looked down at the ground again
And saw her thin stiletto heels
And thoughts went round my mind like wheels
*
“Spring rain!” I smiled, instead of what
My mind thought, which was: “Id-i-ot!”
As she walked dainty by my side
And went on out to catch a ride

She grumped and sighed and made a pout
At weather we’d been warned about
She looked down at her thin wee dress
About to turn a soggy mess
*
She looked down at her silly heels
That would have paid for many meals
And turned to me and fussed again
And said a rude thing ‘bout the rain
Thanks to: publicdomainpictures.net
Perhaps my thoughts would have been kind
If she’d been humbler in her mind
About the wind and rain we faced
Instead of acting so…

better to look good, every time… bet she even looked good when she was dripping wet and shoes ruined, eh?
Haha! That’s fabulous, Cynthia.
It made me think of a woman in a different branch of the agency. (I’m sure she’s perfectly nice, but…) We are at a nearby campus, but not at the main area. So there’s a shuttle bus, and I’m always bothered about its awkward stairs. Since I’ve stumbled up those stairs a couple of times, my shoes are simple. Hers however… Towering stilettos with high platforms. I honestly don’t see how she manages. 😀
Rhyming, humor, and humility. Well done Cynthia.
Made me smile! I never wear high heels and have no idea how ladies walk in them!
Practicality… sometimes I wonder whether our neighbors even check the weather too… ☔️ – Oscar
Such a great reminder to look inside first before “casting a stone”. Last week I had to be in the actual city and it was a rainy cold day and I actually felt pity for the women dressed so nice in heels and their hair done as they trudged down the windy streets to their offices. I’m thankful we are able to dress down at my office!!
Thank you, Tina. I hope the Spring is going well at your farm.
Well done, Cynthia! I’ve never had to worry about wearing stilettos, but do worry about wearing cat hair on dark clothing. With nine cats, it’s bound to happen. Sometimes people ask me if I have cats. 🙂
Lavinia, I guess we all have our crosses to bear…. (tee hee)
