Analysis of Shoemaker and the elves



Night comes and these elves
Burrow into the Shoemakers house
Love so proud
Keeps them in their shroud
So one cloth of Leather
Few buttons
Sharp stitches onto tan
Leather shoes come ready in minutes
I rehearse the reasons to be alive,
As the Shoemakers wakes up and is surprised
By a table full of beautiful boots
I skip off in to my life.

The Elves never lie.
They have come Alive
