OLD SHOES

Intrigued he was, by the style, the feel,
the comfort,the warmth that hugged him just right
and the support he got no matter his destination.
He was SATISFIED for a WHILE
He had many, where there were some with out
He abused them too, not even a second thought of what he put them thru
Now that they were old, he forgot how he loved them new
Now that they were old ,they were no good
Now that they were old, Well...he misunderstood
That thru all the dirt and shit he put them thru...
They lasted longer and were much stronger than
His new pair of shoes!
