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
