No Shoes Great Blues

by Lili D'Aloia-Facey
(Melbourne, Victoria, Australia)





I had the blues
Cause I had no shoes
Until I met on the street
A man with no feet

He gave me a look
Then gave me a book
In it it said
That his name was Fred

I gave him a phone
Told him to call home
That's when he said
That he didn't even have a bed

I said get in the car
My house wasn't too far
He stayed with me then
And we became great friends


Webmaster says: Two can play at this silly game

I had the blues
Cause I had no shoes
Until I met on the street
A man with no feet

So we did a trade
Which we both thought neat
He gave me his pristine shoes
I gave him my dirty feet


The first four lines of this poem were coined by Denis Waitley the Author and Motivational Speaker.
Per a Wikipedia page, which reads like it was written by Denis Waitley, he was born in 1933.
He has given counseling to traumatized military personnel, astronauts, company executives and sportsmen and has written books and produced audio lectures

And to finish
'No Shoes' by John Lee Hooker

write for the occasion









Hi, I'm Jon Bratton and this website is my retirement income provider, thankfully. I've always been a rhymester and have, over the years, written many farewell to coworker ditties, love poems for valentines, roastings for milestone birthdays and so on. This interwebsite was originally created for card makers, stampers and scrapbookers to provide verses, quotes, one-liners etc for their papercraft creations. You'll find me, on a personal basis on Facebook
There are over 400 pages of material and I've done my very best to provide good internal navigation to help you find the perfect verse or quote for you. Not everything on here was written by me. I've included the work of Author Unknown who is very good, I find and I have also included contributions from you guys
Thanks, and please keep 'em coming.
Now for details of the Verses4Cards page on Facebook and if you like what you find on my interweb site I'd really like you to click the Like button, coming next. Chow!
