Oh the sandals I had were lovely and bright
With a lowish wedge heel just right
One could wear day or night.
But our daughter s wedding day near
I needed Mauve shoes I fear
.
I couldn't find with flat heels anywhere
Then I saw my Husband Ray
With newspapers leather paint on the table
Blending colours for the gold sandals
.
Oh my goodness youv'e ruined them I screeched
I was lost for speech
And he said I'll do two coats on each
.
But when the job was done
I couldn't remember the golden ones
.
When the outfit complete the mauve sandals
Matched everything
The dress,and jacket hat and scarf
I had to laugh
And the clever man who made it all tone
How?could I have moaned.

A good, sweet, funny story, but you need to read it through and fill in a few gaps for the reader - couldn't work out quite what had happened at first! Also, some punctuation required, e.g. this line: But our daughter s wedding day near = But, our daughter's wedding day near and Oh my goodness youv'e ruined them I screeched = "Oh, my goodness, you've ruined them!" I screeched J x
