My cool socks

I was born with a problem that I carry around,
actually now that I think it carries my pounds.
It has given me pains, it has given me corns,
I always viewed it with such tremendous scorn!
It gave me a bone spur, it makes my back ache,
On occasion it has even roused me awake.
I was born with a curse that I cannot reverse
in fact it even at times makes me spout verse.

Yet, recently,
I've begun to see things differently.
In an effort to turn my attitude more cheerful
I tried to find ways to make my curse less leerful.
After much contemplation I did finally surmize,
it means that I can wear a child size!
Wow! This could be the start of something new!!
Suddenly the ideas just started to spew!
I finally found what I was looking for,
now I needed a way the idea could spore.
I no longer would simply stick to the status quo,
it was time I Laura Hess would become the pro;
no one could doubt how I love this show.

We started searching, my two friends and I,
we would find those cute shoes, we would find them, or die!!
We searched hi and lo,
kept our heads in the game,
to all stores did we go,
okay, my heart is really in the song, is that so wrong?

At last, at last, at last, at last!
The shoes finally surfaced, my dream was not beat!
Zac Efron could finally live on my feet!
I carry him around like he's my best pal
I took him with me to see the third High School Music-cal
Now all my best friends do walk around with me
for all the wide world to look down and see!
Zac joins the ranks of our dear Harry Potter,
there also is Sponge Bog, they only get hotter!
Tinker Bells zooms on one lovely pair
While Santa Claus makes his presence with care.

So all of you born with that one gnawing flaw,
I urge you, please! Do not let it rub raw!
Simply instead find a way to live on
Turn it around and it soon will be gone!
You must find a way to let it bring joy,
even if it means having on your socks, the face of a boy




Disclaimer: these socks are real. I really own them, and I really wore them :) I loved HSM 3 by the way that I saw last night with my good friend Emily.



My dear friends Emily and Nicki found me these shows. Alas, in the child section. If you did not guess, my curse is small feet.

Haha, way to turn it around. I wonder what shoes I'll see on your feet when I see you next. Kermit? Rainbow Bright? or another hunk from HSM?

Laura Campbell said...

unfortunately, there is only one high school musical hunk. I'm thinking I'll go with Little Mermaid next :)

Laura, I do miss your amazing collection of socks. I was cursed with the big feet, so I will never get to have Zac walk a mile in my shoes.

Maybe someday...sigh.
I love the rhymes!

Love your poem, and the footwear. Was your car in the movie?

Did you write that while you were on the toilet?
