My favorite pair of shoes gave up on me after years of dutiful service, and I miss them. Here is my ode to those shoes:
They came in a box
From Texas, a great surprise
Note: "You need these, Mark"
Joy Tull (the sender) was right about that.
Now, you go-- haiku about some shoes. Just use the 5/7/5 syllable formula, and have some fun!
