Blue Suede People
People that wear blue suede shoes have a certain zest for life
When they dance it’s as if hot embers under their feet are rife
All while dodging tumbling sagebrush and avoiding daily strife
Adventurous too as they seek out a cave to hear the echo of a fife
With personalities that cut through boredom like a porcelain knife
These souls are the cream of the crop, the kind I adore, like my wife

I love this! I don’t even care that you didn’t touch on the theme. And those shoes are awesome.
