A centipede went to Kmart,
For one thousand pairs of shoes.
She chose all different colours;
Reds, and whites, and blues.

She also bought spare laces,
And one thousand pairs of socks.
Then took them to the counter,
Where they were put into a box.

Next she caught a rabbit cab,
That bounced her to a garden;
She waited there, for her kids,
To return from kindergarten.

Such spending may sound wasteful;
Instead of food to eat,
But she has twenty boys and girls;
And all of them have feet.

Good rhyme scheme and proper metre.

You have a typo at line 5. You need "bought" the past tense of "buy", rather than "brought" the past tense of "bring".

Well done!

I really appreciate you taking the time to read and comment on my poem. Brought has been changed to bought.

Cute, little poem. I think you would be a great writer for children's poems, along the lines of Dr. Seuss or Shel Silverstein.

I am glad you liked it. 

I am no Seuss or Silverstein, just someone that likes to put his over active imagination into writing. .

The rhythm was great - smooth and natural, with rhymes that slotted neatly into place and didn't feel at all forced. This had a really professional, polished feel about it, and with its cute and quirky subject matter it all came together just right.

It is always nice to get positive feedback on something you spend time and effort on, quirky as it is.
