Taming of the shoe

All this time I've been waiting

Sitting pretty for you

But today has been strange

Panicked, lost and deranged

 

What is a lockdown?

I've only heard of a knockout

Never mind, you'll all be back in this shop

Money ready with a skip and a hop

 

I'm the newest thing you know

Laced up, beautiful and ready to go

Talk of the town I will be

When you finally return and see me

 

For now I'll wait 'till this blows over

Fake news that will fade fast as it gets older

I hope so anyway for my sake

Now my beauty is at stake
