Lacey spider webs

And bright red ruby slippers.

Sharp toothed monsters haunting beds

And bright red ruby slippers.

Malicious dripping water

And crimson dancing shoes,

Lost youngest daughter,

Scraped, hurt, and bruised.

Rain hides the red

Deep beneath the ground,

Mud covers them

But they tap-tap without sound.

Red baby shoes dance without feet;

Bright ruby slippers

Lost their owner,

Lost their beat.
