Heartbreak

A Poem About Heartbreak

There once was a mother,

who went yon suther,

and bought her son some shoes.

She then went back,

with these shoes that were black,

and gave them to her son.

"Your shoes are so old,

those shoes are so bad," she jittered.

"So full of holes, it makes me sad."

"But mother," he said,

"Why must I throw them away?"

She said: "'They make you look like a hobo,'

they'd say."

So the very next day,

her son went to school,

convinced by his mother that these shoes were actually cool.

But he'd been played for a fool, as these had been lies,

and now he walked around with shoes twice his size.
