No Shoes ~ May be Offensive

No Shoes

I had no shoes and I complained
Until I met a man who had no feet.
That's really beat.

I had no feet and I complained
Until I met a man who had no knees.
That was his disease.

I had no knees and I complained
Until I met a man and you know what?
He had no butt.

I had no butt and I complained about it all
Until I met a man who had no guts.

No butt and now no guts.

I had no guts and I complained
Until I met a man who had no heart.
The most important part.

I had no heart and I complained I did not understand
And then I met a man who had no hands.

I had no hands and I complained
Until I met a man who was a wreck.
He had no neck!

I had no neck and I complained
Until I met a man who had no chin.

Some folks lose
Some folks win.

I had no chin and I complained
Until I met a man who had no nose.
That really blows!

I had no nose and I complained
Until I met a man who never cried.
He had no eyes.

I had no eyes and I complained
Until I met a man who felt no pain.
He had no brain!

I had no brain and I complained
Until I met a man who had no head.
As good as dead.

I had no head and I complained
Until I met a man who had no hair.
There was nothin' there.

I had no hair and I complained
Until I met a man who had no hat.
Picture that.

Not even a hat

I had no hat and I complained
Until I met a man who had no sky.
No reason why.

I had no sky and I complained
Until I met a man who had no stars.
He had no stars?
No Venus or Mars!
And not any stars!

I had no stars and I complained
Until I met a man who had no God.
That's rather odd.

I had no God and I complained
Until I met a man who had no faith.
Nothin' just in case.

I had no faith and I complained
Until I met a man who had no love.
Nothin' to dream of!

I had no love and I complained
Until I met a man who had no hope.
At the end of his rope.

I had no hope and I complained
Until I met a man who had no luck.
That really sucks!

I had no luck and I complained
That I had nothin' left to lose.
And then I met a man who had no shoes.

Yep, we are a bunch of complainers but I think most of us fail to think of others who do have it worse.

JJ, so true, but doesn't it just seem so Normal to Complain ?


I love that part that strarts, ''I had no sky . . . ".
