His new white shoes

Were a pleasure to behold

Why he wore them in the rain

Cannot really be told

They’re trendy. They’re cool

They are all he can be

They show that he’s stylish

They scream, look at me!

 

He dabs with a cloth

And smudges a mark

To keep them spotless

He should have avoided the park

But they’re trendy. They’re cool

They are all he can be

They show that he’s stylish

Give him his ID

 

In the swell of the crowd

His toes feel the squeeze

People walking, not looking

Fill his shoes with unease

But they’re trendy. They’re cool

They are all he can be

They show that he’s stylish

A true wannabe

 

Arriving where he’s going

He looks to the floor

And sees that his new shoes

Are not white anymore

But they’re trendy. They’re cool

They are all he can be

They show that he’s stylish

That he’s a fashion devotee
