ever left the house in a mad mad rush,with a gnawing doubt at the back of your mind that says "you've forgotten somethin"?
okay,funny story.
i left the house in a mad mad rush,and i had a gnawing doubt at the back of my mind that said "i've forgotten something".
honest,it wasnt my fault.i was being made to rush,forced to leave in a hurry.if i'd taken it easy,id have noticed that something was wrong.
as it was,i didnt.

not my fault.

i shut the door to my house (did not have the keys,which,btw,is not what i forgot),and ran down the stairs two at a time(us lazy peoples run down the stairs at every opportunity,its the only exercise we ever get!)
anyhow,i ran down the stairs,two at a time if you please,and thats when i saw them.

one yellow,one red.

"no.this cant be right!",said i,wise one and angel of balance.

but it was.and i sat there,for about an hour,waiting for my dad to come home with the keys.
twitch,take picture of feet,sigh,slp head with hand in disbelief,remove shoes,put them back on again,twitch,sing a song,take shoes off again,stare at them in disbelief,take pictures of them,sigh,twitch.

"in retrospect",said one of my friends,"you shoulda worn them out.it woulda been mad!"

well,if the shoe fits..
