At the recent Race for the Cure event
I lost a shoe, I was running too fast,
racing like a roadrunner to prevent
breast cancer, at the race I had a blast
and met new people and old friends who had
lost a friend of family member to breast
cancer, some were happy, others were sad,
all of them passed a recent cancer test,
so there I was, with a single shoe on
my feet, the other shoe lost, running half
barefoot to the finish line, I had gone
six miles without the shoe, the Susan staff
stared as though I were an ignoramus
this race will not make you rich or famous.
