The Story of a Shoe

Wed, Jan 6, 2010

Blog

Imagine a shoe that is fit for a party
Pointy and black (p’raps what some would call tarty)

Imagine its owner, dressed up looking pretty
All smart and refined for a night in the city

Imagine her hair, all straight and not curly
Her demeanour says class, with a slight hint of girlie

Imagine a pub, then imagine another
Imagine the language, so coarse for a mother

Imagine her friends all embarassed and drear
Who lift her once more as she falls on her rear

Imagine said shoe, and the strain it is under
As she totters about with her ankles asunder

Now imagine that harlot who walks with a wibble?
Imagine no more, for it is Rosie Scribble

    So it Scribble Vs Beaufoix round 4 now is it?

    I was going to say how brilliantly written it was and how it made me laugh out loud and how you are very talented, but then I read it a second time and decided it is in fact complete tosh.

    You know, all you’ve managed to do is prove that Ms Scribble knows how to party. I think you’ve lost round 4.

    Some might say you have far too much time on your hands Ms Bo, but not I, I thought this was the best so far.

    Ms Scribble has some serious catching up to do.

    I was so expecting this to be about you then almost sprayed my laptop with Diet Coke when I read the last line!

    Marvellous.

    I wonder what Ms Scribble’s blog response will be?
