The Shoe Pile
1There's a pile of shoes by our front door,
a pile so tall it hides the floor.
I can't find my sneakers anywhere,
so I'll sort this pile with lots of care.
2Papa's boots are big and covered in mud.
They land on the mat with a heavy thud.
Mama's sandals go beside the wall.
She doesn't wear them in the fall.
3Here's Nana's slipper, fuzzy and blue,
and here is the baby's tiny shoe.
The kitten's toy mouse is in here, too!
That isn't a shoe. What should I do?
4At last I spot two laces red.
"They're my sneakers!" I happily said.
Now all of our shoes are in a row.
We'll find them fast when it's time to go!
