DADDY'S SHOES

When I was young, I'd try on Daddy's shoes...

I'd scoot around, and everyone would smile.

They'd pat me on the head and say, (amused)

“Don't worry, you'll grow to them, afterwhile...”

But now, a lot of years have come and gone,

And looking at His life, it's plain to see...

As hopefully, again I try them on...

His shoes I find...are still too big for me.

You know what gets my goat - torques my jaws - grinds my gears?

When the Socialist/Communist present their ideas as something new and grand.

Socialism is just warmed over Feudalism with the government's leadership in place of the nobility. Socialism is just share-cropping for the government. Do their useful idiots really think they will still be allowed to sit on their a$$ and draw a check when the government owns everything?

When the Roman Empire collapsed and barbarian "terrorist" threatened, they told us: "Give us a portion of your crops and we'll protect you". Soon they owned all the land and we worked for them. Then, not only our land, but our bodies belonged to them and they slept with our brides on our wedding nights. Often our firstborn was really not "ours".

Don't be deceived. The Government does not engage in charity and any entity big enough to provide for you is big enough to control you. Even the protection for which the government was created in the first place, is constantly being parleyed into a means of control. They will buy your vote until they no longer need to buy it because they own you and then... they will collect... big time!

I just can't find
a paradigm
in which I am the King
Though I've searched far
I'm ne'er the czar
or any royal thing
Upon this Earth
potentially a serf
constant struggle to be free
those I elect
seek to yoke my neck
while saying they do it for me

I LOVE those shoes, Billie!
And Elton John can sure 'belt 'em out'!
I almost spilled my coffee,
Tapping my way along with that music!

Wayzata JOHNN said we could wear shoes kinda like 'these'
When he takes us to breakfast each week.
(I know - I asked him once,
If I had to wear shoes...
And he said
tennis shoes that have no soles would be fine. LOL!)

The 'clown shoes' are very like shoes that I bought during a local “Merry Market Place” event,a few years ago; which has dozens of vender's from all over the U.S.. They are actually a sort of leather tennis shoe with a sorta high top, painted bright colors and contrasting colored laces, and different scenes or plants or animals, They are so fun, and this has reminded me to get them out as they do get to the back of the closet in the summer months. Actually I do not wear them daily. I want to keep them looking good.

They were created in Alaska, during their winter months and then sold during the fall, in the southern states. Thank You for reminding me ... it is time to find them again.
