My Shoes Don't Match

It's not that they don't match my shirt.
It's not that they don't match my pants.
It's not that they don't match my socks.

They don't match each other.

I got to work today and realized that I'm
wearing one black slip-on and one brown
lace-up.

There's really no way to explain my way out
of this one. I can argue that I don't know
the light switches in the new house so I
grabbed two shoes in the dark. I can argue
that the shoes both fit about the same. I
can argue that the brown is actually very
dark brown.

But the fact remains: I made it to work
with shoes that don't match.
