The old Sheepskin Slippers by Noreen Tyers
When I moved to the House of Old
On County Road 16 at R. R. # 4
The house was old and a wee bit drafty
Tried heavy socks, slippers I made, oh so crafty
Not to long after a trip to Lanark was made
I came home with some slippers, shade was gray
I put the tender tootsies inside the fleece
Oh my goodness the toes were warm and in peace
I wore my slippers both in and out of the house
They were so cozy they even boarded a mouse
One morning I got up and put my foot in
Oh Dear, there was a furry creature touching skin
I pulled out the foot and gave the slipper a shake
But somewhat happy it wasn’t that pesky snake
I soon learned you put the slippers up off the floor
Hoped the mouse would leave, to the other side of the door
I discovered that once you tried theses Lanark Slippers
Will not want to give them up, just trim away damages with the clippers
Stich the holes with a stich or two and keep them going
But when the sole leaves the slipper, take them Slipper Dr. life is never boring.
If you spend the time and money to get them repaired
Oh Mom, try not wear them outdoors, they will despair
I sure Love, no matter who has worn them before
But try to keep them in the house on a solid, dry floor.
Over the years I’ve had many pair and yes I still wear to
the garden.
