If something unfortunate happens once,
It is an accident at an unlucky place.
If something unfortunate happens twice at the same place,
… Is there a malicious ghost in Gracia?
Twice I have been to Andreas’ flat,
Twice something of mine breaks on the way from his flat to the metro station,
Not to mention it is nearly the exact same spot too!
First it was my purse strap,
Tonight it was my heel.
You know how in the movies you see a girl walking down the street,
She keeps walking but her heel stayed five feet behind?
It actually happened to me!
There I was, standing in the middle of the street,
Holding my broken heel,
Not knowing whether to laugh at my strange situation,
Or feel odd at the chance that something of mine breaks,
Every time I walk past this certain stretch of road.
In the end it was Andreas’ sandals coming to the rescue,
Allowing me to walk home instead of wobble, limp, or hobble home.
So thank you Andreas for your sandals,
And thank you Athanasio for being a gentleman,
Attempting to fix my shoe,
And waiting with me for the sandals.
Oh the adventures in Barcelona just keeps getting better…
Sorry about your shoes lady! Those are pretty wild too – when did you get those? I like them a lot! Miss you! Guess this gives you an excuse to buy new shoes!

Poor babe! That really sucks, losing a pair of shoes… I know how much you love shoes :). Written like a poem, very interesting format, it works!
