Sample Poem:
Milly O'Malley from Kalamazoo
has a collection of horrible shoes.
Shoes that look ugly,
shoes that feel bad.
Shoes guaranteed
to make everyone mad.
Shoes that will trip you,
shoes that will pinch.
Shoes that refuse
to move even one inch.
It won't surprise you
to hear me say
that Milly O'Malley
goes barefoot all day.
