The Hokey Pokey
What’s in a shoe?
The essay question was tough
I sat there in fear of my future
Why would they ask me such a question?
Did Plato ask it?
Was he troubled by it?

Mountain climbing
Going to war
Hiking

Acceptable answers are—
A tongue
Laces
Insoles

All others fail.
Damn.
They got me with the obvious
Ain’t that a kick in the head?
