I could have afforded shoes.
I did buy shoes from the source
In the end but I quit soon after.
He actually bullied me.
I was never bullied at school
So I would be damned
Before I accepted it anywhere else.
He waited until he spotted
Some more well connected parents
And he decided to say:
If you cannot afford shoes
From me try....
For a whole 15pound difference.
Like it was worth it.
They were over 20 years his jr.
I was paying my parents digs
Amongst many other things.
I was a teenager for one
A school age teen.
My parents were self centred.
I got more than enough and
I won't complain about my lot.
It made me a responsible adult...
After my wild phase at least.
It was me who suggested sponsorship
Or they would never
Have pulled their finger out.
But I was just out spoken
And saying the blatantly obvious.
I never went out of my way.
