Shoeless

One early morn on a cold and misty day                                                                                                                            I saw a man walking across the way

I was at the stop light, and about to make a U                                                                                                                           I said to myself, "That man's shoeless; what do I do?"

I turned left and met him just around the corner                                                                                                                   I said, "Sir, what happened to your shoes?"

He said, "Someone stole my shoes."                                                                                                                                                  I said to him, 'Here's your shoes."

He was baffled and hesitated, but finally accepted.                                                                                                  The man who was shoeless, now had a pair of shoes

I was now headed home and barefooted.                                                                                                                             But at home, I had at least two pair of shoes.
