The Sneaker's Story

The sneaker hung lifeless over the telephone wire.

No simple breeze could knock it down.

Its story seemed sad as it was shabby, worn and alone

and as far as the eye could see,

there was nothing else around.

 

Days, weeks, months passed by

The sneaker hung just as it had before

shabby, worn and alone

with memories of when it proudly sat-

new and cool on the shelf of the sneaker store.

 

Then one misty morn

it felt a tug on the wire,

and another sneaker hung beside it - oh what luck!

But before it could say  anyhting,

it fell to the street

and was run over by a diesel truck.
