Platform Shoes Poem by Marie Causey

Do you Remember the 70's Fantastic Platform shoes
I had Legs up to my bottom they kept the lads amused
My where a minty green shade,8inch off the ground
All my school mates said mine where the best around

I loved the thrill of balancing as I walked My Walked
The size of my plat forms neighbors talked and talked
Mam said its embarrassing buy a pair of flat Pumps
Dad said How the hell do you walk over bumps

I loved my platform 70's all eyes on my Feet
I had the best platforms in our blooming street
Yet if they came back now I couldn't do it again
Not with my arthritic knees and l joint pain
