Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Her Last Pair

When she first encountered us, she

Loved us so much, she took a lot

Of us, so always around be

Us for looks and comfort she sought.

Though she'd taken us by the gob,

We did our duty, two by two,

Each retired when done with the job.

Rest of us continued to do

Best of service we could for her,

As all the many years went by.

Then she fell ill, we all knew sure,

As did all humans, she did die.

Off to heaven, and she does wear

Us shoes for the trip, her last pair.
