My wife has squeaky shoes

they make an awful sound

as she walks around the house

squeak squawk squeak squawk

the most annoying sound

they are athletic shoes

and she wears them mostly for walking

as a result, she walks alone

even the dog refuses to go along

that squeak squawk irritates his ears

but the one good thing about those shoes is

those squeaks tell me

she is approaching

which gives me time to flee the area

which in turn gets me out of a job

or out of trouble

I hope she never gets rid of them

those squeaky shoes are a life saver

if death approaches I hope it too has

squeaky shoes.
