Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 863 (The Ones To Fill)

The dress shoes were always on hand-

Worn daily, by the businessman.

.

The boots were worn on a regular basis-

By the firemen in the truck, that one cannot miss.

.

The tennis shoes are worn by the teenager, at school-

The latest brand is always the golden rule.

.

On the beach, the sunbathers, may be still-

But, manage through the sand, wearing that sandal.

.

The flats are worn by the ladies who reject the ones that are high-

Look over there and you will see them go by.

.

On the stage, it is no news-

To see dancers sporting their dance shoes.

.

All of the above footwear have their roles to fill-

To be worn to do a task to not stand still.

.

There is one more item that is filled each and every year

by a special one-

The stocking hanging over the fireplace, yeah, Santa fills

that one, he gets the job done.

Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 416 (That Old Stocking)

The old stocking was pulled out once again-
The first time, I saw it, I can remember when.
.
For Mother made it with her hands, ever so busy-
And, when it was finished, it was a glorious sight to see.
.
It began with felt that was so red-
So soft, as she continued ahead.
.
The elves that were put on, had beads for eyes-
The reindeer appeared to be, just the right size.
.
Of course, Santa stood out, among the rest-
My Mother created a masterpiece, she passed that test.
.
In the bottom corner was a bit of hay-
Yes, on this stocking, Jesus, was on his way.
.
My name was highlighted on the top-
And, not with just my name, did she stop.
.
It was a bit faded now, but I could see hers too-
I wonder if she knew what this would mean to me,
years later, when she was finally through.
.
The old stocking was pulled out once again-
The first time, I saw it, I can remember when.
