Sneakers

Broke my running shoes,
Ruined my day to be honest,
Now I gotta go down to the shoe store and listen to some cretin tell me what shoes I should be wearing,
As I arrived, a young man approached me and immediately starts dribbling on about the weight of each shoe,
"Midsole foams on this Nike now make a plush ride possible without adding much heft to the shoe" he says with excitement in his eyes,
"Just give me something that fits my foot and take my money" I think to myself as I nod politely,
I ended up leaving with three new pairs of sneakers,
Cost me $600

need to evaluate all in hand, no need to hanker after the running golden deer!
