Shoe pile, shoe pile, empty nest at the door
Where have you gone, shoe pile?
I can actually see the floor!
Shoe pile, shoe pile, gone from the hall
No more tripping hazards
Threatening to cause a fall.
Shoe pile, shoe pile, that huge display
Seemed like every pair they owned
Was always in the way.
Shoe pile, shoe pile, overflowed into the room,
When the kids’ friends came over,
Showed who was visiting whom.
Shoe pile, shoe pile, always in disarray
No more dirt and melted snow
From an overfull boot tray.
Shoe pile, shoe pile, missing from the entry
Look, there’s tile and a throw rug
So much else to see.
Shoe pile, shoe pile, removed from the scene
Now I can thoroughly sweep and mop
And the floor might stay clean.
Shoe pile, shoe pile carried off to the U
The kids can deal with their own shoe pile
I’ve got better things to do!
