Hugh the Shoe

Was pink and blue
He proudly walked around
Along the ground

He had eight eyes
Where his laces were tied
And a tongue in between
That was long, thin and green

Hugh was a left shoe
Who, as you do,
Had a brother on the other foot called Drew

Hugh and Drew
Were both size two
And went very far
On the feet of a rock star

But they were not very pleased
That his feet smelled of cheese
So as they marched right and left
They both held their breath

Then when they were old
Hugh got a cold
“Atchoo!” cried Hugh
“Bless you” said Drew

“Have you got a chill?”
“You look rather ill”
“Yes, there’s a hole in my sole
And the cold got through” said Hugh

But when he woke up next day
The cold had gone away
And so had the hole
His sole was back whole

They both been repaired
Because the rock star cared
About his shoe 
That had caught the flu

So Hugh and Drew were happy shoes
You could see their smiles for miles and miles
“Thank goodness” said Hugh “he mended my hole
“It was making me such a miserable soul.”
