Sneakered

In Air Jorden’s he strode proud, with name-brands he stood apart. In closets sneakers walked not far from their boxes. Heel to toe stock grew Well known on eBay, to barter, trade and pay he paved the way Fake stuff, imitations led to litigation financial gloom. Nike rued the day his wife put down her foot gave him what for, then ran away in cut-price footwear.

And so it is.... This reminds me of a poem I wrote once about a child who did not get something he wanted for Christmas and couldn't understand why his daddy got a new Harley...or something like that. It's been a while. I liked your poem a lot, Eric.

Thank you L Milton, good analogy! I hear there is money to be made in this sneaker thing, but its sounds like a lot of hard work! Glad this silly piece hit the mark for you.
