Little Angelo
shines some shoes
on a corner downtown.  

He’s there
with his box full of
polish, rags, and brushes.  

He does a good job,
and his customers are always
happy with their shining shoes.  

Angelo always lets
his customers know
just how pretty and good looking
his mom and dad are.  

If they’re interested,
and have enough money,
Angelo can always
put something together
for them.

Bobby

Hello Bobby, I have always admire the shoes shiner, they bend in front of everybody for little money, they must be very proud and strong inwards...

  have a nice day

Yann,

You are very correct.  I only did it for a short time, and didn't do well at it.  One of my best friends in middle school however, used to have a stand downtown in front of a bowling alley.  He was a real expert, and did well.  He had a good spot, you know, location--location--location.

No one can say that Angelo was not enterprising!  He obviously had logic on the brain (no surprise he ended up a Math guy, huh).

Thanks dear Alison,

That's very true.  Angelo was, and still is, a sweet guy.

Bobby
