Here's another offering to Poet's Corner from a local lady.

"Boots for Sale"
(Only worn five times.)
I
bought myself some high-heeled boots like Tina Turner wears,
The first time that I wore them, I tumbled down the stairs.
I
broke my leg and had to stay in hospital for days
Up to my thigh in plaster and a mountain of X-rays.
High
Heeled boo oo ts
High
Heeled boo oo ts
High
Heeled boo oo ts
High
Heeled boo oot oo oo oots
High
Heeled boo oo ts
High
Heeled boo oo ts. Like Tina
Turner wears.
Now,
when my leg was mended, I wore the boots again,
They
rubbed great blisters on my heels and I was wracked with pain.
The
third time that I wore them, was on a shopping spree
My
heel jammed in the pavement and I couldn’t get it free.
I
pulled and tugged to no avail, a passer by pulled too,
Then
up came a policeman to see what he could do.
He
stood there with his truncheon, “ ‘Ello! ‘Ello!” said he
He
bashed the boot a hundred times but he couldn’t get it free.
He
called a council worker who was leaning on his shovel
“No,
no, not me I can’t,” he said, “ ‘Cause I would get in trouble.”
Then
up came Dai the burglar, said, “Leave this task to me,”
He brought out his big crow bar and soon my boot was free.
Repeat
Chorus
I
stumbled in the circle and went flying through the air.
I
landed on the centre stage to rapturous applause
“It’s
Mary Poppins”, someone called, “And I just saw her draws.”
Red
faced I struggled to my feet the audience wanted more
I
bowed then limped into the wings to a thunderous
‘Encore ‘.
For
months the boots lay hidden, I couldn’t bare to see
Those
high-heeled, sexy monsters that had made a fool of me.
For
Tina’s boots I realised I didn’t have the flair
So,
I advertised them on E-bay. now they’ve gone to Cherrie Blair.
High
Heeled boo oo ts
High
Heeled boo oo ts
High
Heeled boo oo ts
High
Heeled boo oo t oo oo oots
High
Heeled boo oo ts
High Heeled boo oo ts. Now they’ve gone to Cherrie Blaire.
