Mid-Week Matinee, Mad About Madden Week: Steve Madden -Lenor, Olive

Buongiorno Amici!

This week we shall break from our regular mid-day diversion...but don't despair, good things come to those who wait!  So hold on for one more week, and until then, I leave you, my fellow Shoe-A-Holics, with some culture.



Once upon an afternoon sunny, while I browsed with purse full of money,

Over many a quaint pair of shoes in the department store;

Then I saw it while I was shopping, suddenly my jaw was dropping

As if all time was stopping; snatching me from melancholy and bore

‘I’m in love,’ I muttered, ‘I’m in love like never before –

Only this and nothing more.’

Ah, distinctly I remember, it was October or perhaps September,

My eyes opened wide as my feet were firmly planted on the floor,

Eagerly I searched for my size, this pair of shoes would be my prize

An addition to my Arsenal; 300 pairs and counting but just one more –

In vain I searched the stock on the department floor

For the olive beauties named, Lenor.

All at once my soul grew stronger, hesitating then no longer

‘Sir,’ said I ‘or Ma’am, truly your expertise I implore;

But the fact is I am seeking, perhaps in the storeroom as I was peeking

This lovely shoe here, a size 10 please, and nothing more.’

‘Of that size,’ quoth the sales clerk, ‘there is no more!

‘We just sold the last pair of Lenor!’

 I couldn’t tell if it was whether the stitch-detail or the leather,

Thrilling me -filling me with fantastic feelings never felt before;

So that now to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating,

‘Search again, because I’m not walking out the door!

I’m not leaving until I get what I came for –

My Steve Madden shoes named, Lenor!’

 Security changed all that;

Back to my house returning all my soul within me churning,

My thoughts all consuming with those Steve Madden shoes, Lenor;

‘Surely,’ said I, ‘surely there must be another pair…somewhere out there.’

Then I turned on my computer, and I sat and waited for

My dial up modem to connect in order for me to explore

The internet, for Lenor.

Frantically, I started typing, then my eyes, I started wiping,

Wiping tears of joy away; I had found what I was looking for;

Then at once I was scrolling, clicking, and receiving my free shipping

Now only I have to wait for my shoes by the front door;

I’ve learned my lesson: think twice of shopping at the department store;

Quoth my sanity, ‘Nevermore!’*
