forced journaling...and my wife liked this one

I'm in a class that has some forced journaling requirements. Not that I'm a great writer or even a poet, but I' took the easy way out on the random thought process. I came up with this ditty that my wife and daughter liked. Its funny but the idea came from the fact these old "K-Swiss" classic wear like iron, look like hell but they are still so comfortable.  The all want me to get rid of them. The bit after the jump. Call it a classic meandering...

These shoes

They're old - Dec 07

The've taken me on adventures

I slipped off a cliff - 

hit a cacti before going over the edge.

They took me to London,

they took me to Paris.

I walked the path of kings,

At the Louve I saw the mark of the common man.

They took me on hikes at Rushmore and Yellowstone.

Hundreds of walks.

Now they have a bigger journey.

to find me a happy place.

I need it for my wife

I need it for my kids

I need it for me.

I needed these old shoes.
