Uncle Tom waltzed; Dressed in a hat and tailcoat, A cough and a sore throat, He takes his coffee black. A soothsayer that sings like a ***; Bible in hand thumb strum, thump, His soul hammers out ~ on a cheap plastic drum.
I walked a mile in a dead man’s shoes !
Slow down Tom for the evenings long And the sun an’t rising any time soon, There’s not a dry eye in the house; Just bells and bones and a waitress or two, Whistling tunes that open doors; I don’t want to be a wannabee ! but I walked a mile in a dead man’s shoes !

Bought some old style shoes from a charity shop but they didn't fit my feet!, I walked a painful mile in them before dropping them off at another charity shop ! "Tom was written in black ink just inside the heals of the shoes.
