Platform Shoes

Platform Shoes - Poem by Marie 

Do you Remember the 70's Fantastic Platform shoes 
I had Legs up to my bottom they kept the lads amused 
My where a minty green shade,8inch off the ground 
All my school mates said mine where the best around 

I loved the thrill of balancing as I walked My Walked 
The size of my plat forms neighbors talked and talked 
Mam said its embarrassing buy a pair of flat Pumps 
Dad said How the hell do you walk over bumps 

I loved my platform 70's all eyes on my Feet 
I had the best platforms in our blooming street 
Yet if they came back now I couldn't do it again 
Not with my arthritic knees and l joint pain
