Do you want fries with that?

Back in my drinking days I went to work wearing two different shoes
I know two shoes - they have to be different
And yes, it was a left shoe and a right shoe
I didn't notice it until someone at work mentioned it
My cubicle was visited by everyone on my floor to remind me of what
a loony-tunes I was
I thought it was funny and didn't mind the chiding

When I went to bed that night, I looked at my shoes
One was a desert boot and the other a negative heel Root
So it was two shoes as different as any two shoes could be
I became concerned about my drinking (I quit hard liquor a year later)
I became concerned about mental acuity
I couldn't sleep
I talked to myself about reasons why I can't tell the difference in my shoes
I spent the whole night talking to myself

I rearranged my shoes three separate times
Roots in one room, boots in another
The next morning, I verified that I was wearing shoes from the same pair
I went to work
The same guy came by and checked out my shoes
Left foot a Root
Right shoe a Root
Then he let out a yell
Brown sock on one foot, blue sock on the other

I claimed that I did it on purpose (I lied)
For the last 35 years I have worn different color socks
- sometimes subtle sometimes black and white
It was better than admitting to a problem
Not my drinking (or recreationals)
Not loosing it
I just needed to sleep without talking to myself about triviality

I did not mean to send the email last night
I am sorry if I caused you any worry
I am not loosing it
I have not been drinking
Only two tokes yesterday
My teeth situation will be resolved before the All Star game
Dennis, he of the big shoulders, is helping me resolve any issues.

So I will send a teeth update next week

And it will be coherent and sent during the daytime
