There once was a girl with the smallest feet in the land

Through Nordstrom she looked, even the Britney Spears brand.

She searched high and low; she searched far and wide.

(She thought of Black Friday, but the idea made her cry.)

So online she went, so done with that scene!

And typed “child bride shoes” into the Google machine

Click click went her mouse, though her Visa said Hey!

SHUT UP, she snapped back, IT’S MY SPECIAL DAY!!

Into the cart went one pair, satin and sweet

But they arrived and were twice the size of her feet.

Alas! Alack! The first pair did not fit

Back to the Internets! Where she would sit and would sit

Until she spied—what is this—an even prettier pair?

Smaller, and fit for even Miss Queen Bee Blair!

Three inch ivory pumps with a delicate bow,

Soft as silk and an appropriate point to the toe.

“These are it! I have found them!” she wanted to call

Until they came in the mail—and her feet? Still too small.

A tear rolled down one cheek and her expression grew darker

Who could she turn to? Rachel Zoe? Sarah Jessica Parker?

A third Internet search, and hark! There they were!

Fiercer than Miss Jay and Tyra combined, yes sir.

She smiled and thought, “These will totally disarm

And in fairy tales isn’t the third time the charm?”

But the price was steep, significantly higher.

She hemmed and she hawed; the situation grew dire.

Surely these beauties are worth the extra dough??

Her heart said YES, Suze Orman said NO.

Sorry to say this tale has no end,

And she’ll turn it over to you, her Internet friends.

Is it true all is fair in love and in shoes?

What if searching drives this girl to booze?

When to splurge and when to save?

When to be sensible and when to behave?

If you have a suggestion, give it a whirl

So continues the tale of the poor shoeless girl.
