When I started to jog
Back in ‘75
(When so many of you
Weren’t even alive)
The choices of shoes
You would wear on a run,
For a woman, at least,
Made the shopping no fun.
Just Adidas and Brooks,
And with limited styles,
Were the options to wear
As I chalked up the miles.
Then came Reebok, but still,
All the pickings were slim,
So you’d see the same shoes
On the streets or the gym.
But that isn’t the case
Anymore, as you know.
The selection has managed
To crazily grow.
As I sit here and marvel
At sneaker-clad feet,
I will rarely, if ever,
Detect a repeat.

Gootle bought a springbok(money no problem)
Passed to it a dibbuk
The springbok ran with a little wren
Gootle booked a Reebok ( money?, no problem)
dibbuk= a demon that enters the body of a living person and controls that body's behavior ( found in Jewish Folklore)
Gootle is a creature half-human half-puppet- a humpet, a polite being . He has three eyes on the back of his head( color: blue). He is three legged and two-and-a -half-handed. Body Color: orange. He has no hair and no ears.But he is neither bald nor deaf. He has a long nose -adjustable min 2" max 9". I cannot post his pic because I am not a premium member.However, you can feel his presence slowly.
For copyright reasons he has changed his name from Gubble to Gootle. He never suffers a lack of appetite.His primary foods are: fun bread, nonsense soup, curry of love with a sprinkle of pamper and a dessert of affection( Sorry,Demetrios he has changed his diet a bit).

Way back in 490 B.C. in a place called Marathon,
the Persians invaded Greece with forks and spoons.
The Athenians fought back with courage and bravery,
warding off the no-good Persians back to the sea.
A young lad, Phidippides, to announce the great victory
then sprinted to Athens some fifty kilometers away.
There in the city's gate to the people he pronounced
“Nike, Nike!”, then promptly fell dead, unannounced.
Any joker versed in Greek mythology shall have known
that “Nike, Nike!” really means “We won, we won!”
But what I can’t quite figure out as I pace the floor
is what damn Reebok and Adidas really stand for!
