The Right Words

"The Right Words"

I like poets - They write shorty tasty treats
Like walking up to a tree
& demanding one of its delicious babies
Can't we wait for apples to fall
I am a true be
Second best to a ruby
But never good enough
When making comparisons in the mirror
I have these words -
Never the right words
I really never really acknowledged my feet
Until they started to hurt
I wish I could run to a store
And buy the right shoes
That would be a true be's treat
