With her eyes filled with tears:
"I have worn no shoe
With the past forty years;
I've now purchased a pair
Which is here to be seen;

Joan rose to her feet;
Jumping and limping,
She went through the street.

To witness the "show,"
And the puddle and pebbles
At her ankles did throw8.

Took pity on Joan,
And up on his shoulders,
He took her safe home.(continues on next page)- Collector
