I’ll Walk a Mile in Your Shoes… When Pigs Fly
I have a friend called Optimus
Whose glass is always half full
When mine is half empty
He liked to feed me bull
He looks me in the eyes and says
“Money makes the world go ‘round,
And if I had a penny for your thoughts
I’d always where a frown
“You see the world is an oyster
And if you wear a frown,”
Laughing like a hyena, he said,
“You should wear it upside down.”
“If the eyes are the windows to the soul,”
I said with a clap,
“Yours are getting mighty brown,
So don’t feed me that new age crap”
“You’re not as innocent as a child,
Or as cute, for that matter.
Your better half told me so,
You’re just as mad as a hatter.”
“When the chips are down
And the going gets tough
You don’t get going,
You only bluff.”
I thought he looked as snug as a bug in a rug
With his left foot in his mouth.
Biting his nails, shuffling his feet,
As quiet as a mouse.
A light bulb went on over his head
“People believe what they want to believe,”
He exclaimed with glee,
“Tis better to give than receive,

You are only green with envy,
I am happy as a clam.”
And with his best Popeye voice,
“I yam what I yam.”
“You, my friend, are as crazy as a fox.”
Ending this battle of wits.
And as I rode of into the sunset, I mumbled
“Well, if the shoe fits…..”
