Shoes v. Sneakers (Limerick)

Can’t recall the last time I wore shoes.
They’re too painful; it’s sneakers I choose.
I like comfort — not style,
And will NOT walk a mile
(Or a foot) wearing shoes. I refuse!

(National Sneakers Day is celebrated on October 9.)

    Hi Mad!
    They don’t talk “sneakers” here. They talk “trainers, “runners,”
    “running shoes, ” gym shoes” “tennis shoes” and here’s the best
    one” “tennies”
    They laugh at me, but I’m sticking to good old “sneakers”
    A bunch of hicks, I say

    LOL! I knew the Brits call them trainers. And I’ve heard them referred to as tennis shoes. As for the rest? Not so much.
