'What's a soul? ' <br />asked the child. <br /> <br />The teacher said <br />'there are many kinds of soles. <br />most are rubbery. <br />It's the thing on the bottom of your shoe.' <br /> <br />In church that week <br />the pastor said <br />that saving souls was important. <br /> <br />'Why should we save soles? ' <br />asked the child. <br /> <br />The pastor said <br />'because you are a soul, <br />everyone is a soul' <br /> <br />'Why, ' thought the child, <br />'would anyone want to be the bottom of a shoe? ' <br /> <br />The child grew up <br />and the child never knew <br />that he wasn't <br />the bottom of a shoe.<br /><br />hidden poet<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/so-u-l-e-s/
