Shoe Polish

I have a friend of mine. However, I don't like him. He can do something that I can never manage to do. He can keep his shoe shining and sparkling, throughout the day and day after day after day. You can never spot him with a blot in his shoe. It is not just one but both the shoes are spotless.


I feel very jealous of such people. Either they do something that I can never manage to do in my life or they do not do something that I do with my shoes.


If you are a guy who can see a small stone while you walk and have no impulse to kick you are the nerd with a spotless shoe.


If you can see a small pool of water on the road and get no inclination to splash it all over you can go ahead and have a spotless shoe.


If you can see a tree that just about snares you into believing you cannot climb it and you actually don't climb it, you can have a spotless shoe.


If you can see dust carefully heaped up by your neighbour and you still go on without jumping all over it, please have your spotless shoes on. I like it specially after polishing your shoes with a brilliant shine on the way to school on a Monday morning. It is also the best time to make your neighbour go crazy and to return the shoes to its original glory. Never mind the stern warnings from your school monitors.


If you can see fresh cow dung and walk right past without knowing if there are worms in there or not, spotless shoes are for you.


If you can compare others' shoe and you do not take pride in taking satisfaction that your's is the most worn out pair, spotless shoes are for you.


If you do not enjoy walking in soggy shoes, spotless shoes like you.


The greatest joy I get is when I am able to see my toes through the front of the shoe.


It is time for my father to get me a new pair of spotless shoe.
