Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Soulful Connections

A cobbler may balance his trade, the mending of soles
  With that of a mender of souls, exchanging roles
With a man of the cloth, making two Roman officials
  Wroth, in the opening scene of Shakespeare's 'Julius Caesar'

Yet when barefoot you walk, on cobblestone streets
  It's quite hard to focus on spiritual needs
So there is, indeed, a connection between a man of the cloth and a cobbler
  Perhaps more than between an elected official and a squabbler

Caren Krutsinger June 4, 2019 at 9:39 PM True; it is more difficult to care about being spiritual and or kind when one is suffering or out of shoes. "Yet when barefoot you walk, on cobblestone streets It's quite hard to focus on spiritual needs" NICE! Gershon Wolf June 4, 2019 at 9:54 PM Yup. Can't argue with the jagged edges of 'barefoot on cobblestones.' Had to give Shakespeare a nod here. (He deserves so much more. 'White' of me, eh?) :) gw

Gotta spend some time with it. xomo Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart June 4, 2019 at 8:35 AM Hey, have you found a trick to predicting it??? I'm always surprised. Gershon Wolf June 3, 2019 at 4:16 PM I kind of like it too...That means it likely won't get much play on the Soup. Glad you found it. Thanks! :) gw
