The Poor Shoe

Looking for another acting award An actor asked one poor what his shoe looks like The unfortunate caught off guard But he smiled, then answered with no fright Well, today it doesn't look so well You see I don't wear it now Looping sun and rain hurt it like hell But it is tough and survive somehow It stands tall against the mighty storm I really appreciate its endurance But as time goes by, its look deformed I don't know if it can take another resistance So here I am now walking on the street barefooted But may I ask you sir, why are you asking for my shoe You see I can't buy one, my pocket is so wounded Hence believe me about my footwear, it's all true Looking for another acting award An actor asked one poor what his shoe looks like Now he got the best trophy reward A teary eye, a lesson that deeply strikes Written: 9/17/2015 An actor may claim that they know what's the poor shoe looks like Little they know that some aren't wearing one...
