Somebody jacked my shoes.
Who? I haven't got a clue.
Somebody jacked my shoes.
They better hope I don't find out who.
Somebody jacked my shoes.
I might just teach them a thing or two.
Somebody jacked my shoes.
I wasn't the only one this happened to.
...
Grand Theft Auto
GTA
This should not have happened. This is not okay.
As you can tell, even with the replacements, it's hard for me to let this go.
Why? Because I work in an environment where my shoes need to have a hard-toe.
My company gave me a slip form, a deposit
To either get either steel toe or composite
The box's still in my closet
Somebody stole to sell, trying to make a profit
...
The first day I came back to work with a new haircut, a new hairdo
The 2nd day I clocked in to missing both, the left and right shoe
I saw others that were similar to mine for one purposeful goal
I checked the others similar to mine; I checked their size, wear, and even their soles
...
My shoes were stolen, removed from their place
This slight against me is a terrible disgrace
I've been so mad if I ever met the thief face-to-face
I'd probably kick their butt so hard, I'd break my hard toes and need my shoes replaced
...
They better hope to be caught by the company and showed the door then
'Cause if I catch them, I might just turn into Red Forman
...
I can see the thief being a shoe artist, covering my boots in graffiti
Man, I'm pretty mad that somebody jacked my Lamborfeeties
The person who stole my shoes just dug their own grave
I'll give them a piece of my mind for stealing my Chevrolegs
They better not try to weasel out, and start back pedallin' by talkin'
I'm headed to HR just cause somebody thieved my Volkswalkins
Yeah, I'm angry, so I'll use my writing as a second voice
Yeah, I'm pissed off cause somebody stole my Strolls Royce
They took my shoes from my labeled cubby thinking it be eazy
They got another thing coming if they can make away with my Mercyeezy's
I swear, people who take from others without need must be a different species
I hope they get more than a reprimanding for stealing everyone else's Feetsubishis
Somebody took my shoes cause they're trying to fill a quota
Even with replacements, I'm upset that somebody went and stole my Toeyatas
The person who stole my shoes, did something and is pretty rude
They just made me the acronym of FORD, Foot On Road Dude
...
I still have my old work boots that have lasted for years
I scribbled my name on them all over, stating their my property, making it clear
Lowkey the thief been stealing nice shoes left and right, like it's a new stimmy
From Reeboks, to Dr. Martens, and even my Timmies
Next they'll be after Red Wings, New Balance, and Utility:Keen
I betchu' this person would've give a second thought to stealing Wolverines
...
Yeah, I've been upset so what do I gain?
Hopefully writing about it can help others laugh at my pain
My supervisors already laughed when I told them the jokes
Heck, I'd figured why not make it into a poem and share it with more folks
My coworker was like, "Damn man, that sucks, those shoes were brand new too."
Let's make sure to check in with security for the camera's point of view
Yeah, you can get new shoes, you can get replacements, and make with haste
Yet, when it comes to your stuff getting stolen from you it can still leave a bitter taste
Even the supervisors are investigating into the five finger discount
Hoping to catch sticky fingers red-handed, and charge them with the full dollar amount
Either way I hope that justice gets served
Yeah, it's a small thing, but small offences should be treated with what they deserve
In all honesty, I thought about writing the blues
But in the end, I'm just like everybody else and needs to work with a good pair of shoes

Love this wordplay! "Lamborfeeties" hehe
Cute and clever. Now find that five finger discount!!!👍💖💕
I'm so sorry this happened to you. I really do hope you find out who's the thief and beat the hell of out them. Loved your poem so much, despite your pain, you've written very beautifully! So sorry I laughed at Feetsubishi and Toeyata 😅
