The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

Oooh, I’m made, factory fresh

Leaving behind those rubber ash

What wonderful adventures ahead

Whose feet shall I wed?

 

Hello sir won’t you take

My humble self for your sake

Yes, yes, pick me!

Warm and comfy I guarantee

 

Ah joy my duties performed

To protect feet I was formed

Hard granite bothers me not

Neither is the concrete too hot

 

Day by day woe is me

These feet dumb as can be

Look out, a puddle!

No, do not *gurgle*

 

Taste of mud on my tongue

Brackish water overflows my lung

Oh dear me, one thing this means

A hole in me, I’m in my teens

 

Ouch, hey don’t discard me here

For need you have of me still, I fear

Who shall cover your toes and sole?

If not me, with my laces and bows?

 

Alas! New kicks I do see

Shiny, sparkly as can be

Thrown, forgotten my faithful self

Please at least give me a shelf

 

Sob!

I like the rhythm of this piece but something about it just doesn't feel right...

 

Maybe it's the abundance of periodic phrases, but I'm not sure.
