A shiny new penny
rests in my shoe,
If you look very closely
You will notice two.
Two shiny pennies, gleaming so bright.
It’s sad that these loafers
are just too darn tight.

You see,
my feet are simply bigger
than they were in ‘65.
When Rock Around the Clock
was hip,
and so was the Hand Jive.

Some trends go ‘round but once,
some go round a time….or three
But I’d give more than two cents, for sure –
 if those
loafers would still fit me.
