A Quality Shoe

My past two weekends have been sacrificed to shoe-hunting. Man, I feel like a girl! My male pride is hurt, I have never ever been this fussy about anything in my life. I'm not getting any decent, wearable pair of shoes for even 3k. Its a travesty! Its unthinkable! And it has pissed me off completely.

What's more, the sales-people they have in these huge air-conditioned stores are so bored with their work that they can't even try to show you anything. Sir, its right in front of you, help yourself. 

Whatever I want is way too expensive and whatever they offer, is what I wouldn't be caught even sleep-walking in. So there's a classic example of Life, sermonizes my brain. Yeah, yeah smart-ass.
Then suddenly a known melody fills out the ensuing gap with delightfully apt words...

 " You got your
   toecaps reinforced with steel,
   Hard-wearing
   sole and heel,
   Make those tired feet feel like new.

   Take your pick,
   black or Brown
  Great for the country
   or the man in town,
   You're gonna need a quality shoe"

  1. ...Now I wish you sunny skies
    And happiness wherever you may go
    But you got to realise
    There'll be wind, there'll be rain
    And occasional snow
    You're gonna want to smile in them
    If you're gonna walk a mile in them
    There'll be times when you'll be blue
    To laugh at rainy days and then
    Make your getaways in them
    You're gonna need a quality shoe... :)

    Good luck!

  2. Hahahaha, So, finally, did you get one or not?

    What's in a shoe?
    Be a black or a brown,
    It will adorn your feet,
    Won't be your crown.
