Myrmidon: Someone who unscrupulously follows someone more powerful. Naiad: a nymph of lakes, springs and rivers. Gyles' poem this week is called 'Life Is Like A Pair Of New Shoes' by Cameron Delaney Life's like a pair of new shoes Their sparkling brand-new white hues The stiff soles and laces Tied up tightly like braces That eventually wear down as you use Life's like a pair of new shoes They go in directions you choose Down city street blocks Wherever you walk They stride along as you cruise Lifes like a pair of new sneaks When you first try to wear 'em they squeak You run down the court Of an athletic sport And you show off your skilled techniques Life's like a pair of new boots Some fashionable leather beauts You strut through the city And you look real pretty In your white collar buisness suits Life's like a pair of new shoes That wear out from years of good use But soon they get old And the insides have mold And by the trashcan we say our "adieus" A Sony Music Entertainment production.
