“The Magic Running Shoes”
My mom bought me new runners,
and they’re the brightest blue.
I also think they’re magic —
there’s nothing they can’t do!
I’ve noticed that they make me
run faster through my days,
and when I’m playing baseball,
I make the greatest plays.
It really is exciting
to have these running shoes,
but cause they make me play so hard,
I think I’ll take a snooze.
The Lonely Meatball 
I remember getting a new pair of sneakers and feeling like I could run a hundred miles an hour. There’s a story in, I think, Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury, that tells of a boy who has to have a new pair of sneakers. A cool story.

That’s interesting. That poem just kind of wrote itself. I must be channeling Ray!

LOL I was more likely channeling a distant relative of his at best.

I would like a pair of those runners – bright blue would be a bonus!

I’m at the point where I think I need magic leggings in addition to the runners.
