Cobbler -Hlm

sits in one corner
with glue, thumb-tacks and hammer
savior of lost soles

Mr. Smith  accepts any kind of old shoes
To fix, sew and make tight ones loose
Also makes loose ones tight
Swapping your left and right
At lowest cost, trims your nails and toes

Old shoe’s life lies over the heels of a cobbler, controller of some avid shoppers.
