DR. BONNIE’S SHOES

 

H. W. Bryce

 

Dr. Bonnie’s shoes walk her on a steady path

Leading us through perilous ways,

Piloting us away from sickness and danger

To shun the way to the Valley of Death.

 

The shoes know the way;

They’ve been down this path before

And know the perils and the traps laying there.

Dr. Bonnie’s shoes steer us clear

Of the land mines and IODs buried

Out of sight.

 

Dr. Bonnie’s shoes are safety shoes

And as comfortable as a second skin.

 

Cobbled by the fairies, blessed by the

Priests of the ministry of folk tales

Where magic is meted out only to

The special few, like Dr. Bonnie’s shoes.

 

Blessed by Merlin’s magic wand

Worthy of a blessing from the pope,

They lead us all to safety

And good practices.

 

As well as all of that, Dr. Bonnie’s Shoes

Make us feel good; and when we feel good,

We do good, and that is a good thing.

 

Dr. Bonnie’s shoes are kind, they are calm,

And they keep us safe.
