The Shoemaker's Children MAG
The shoemaker is your father, but you’re still running barefoot?
Well, newsflash, the shoemaker’s children
run barefoot
Because they want to
They like the air and blades of grass
between their toes
They like the cobblestones cool
beneath their soles
The shoemaker’s children run barefoot because they want to
If your father works at Chase, feel free to invest in
Bank of America
If your father’s an ice-cream maker,
go for frozen yogurt
Your father’s occupations and beliefs do not have to be yours
And if he happens to buy non-pasteurized,
grass-fed, cow milk
Go ahead and get Tuscan from your nearest
grocery store
It’s all up to you
The shoemaker’s children can run barefoot
if they want to
