This is a
parody of
W. B. Yeats's
absolutely fabulous poem He wishes for the Cloths of Heaven. If you haven't read the
original poem,
suffice it to say that you won't really
get this (so
go read it now!).
Had I the
latest in-
fashion shoes,
Enlaced with
golden and
purple thread,
The soft and the
sleek and the
smart shoes
Of
Niké,
Puma,
Adidas thread,
I would
place these shoes upon your
feet:
But I, being
tall, can reach only your
hands;
I have placed them on your hands, not feet;
Tread carefully: your shoes are on your hands.
Written by me, with apologies to Yeats.
