There Once Was a Man Who Lived in Bamboo

.
There once was a man who lived in bamboo
and was once obsessed with the color blue, and loved to dress in fufu-londu.
For the style has been all the rage, and it only to cost a minimum wage!
When the man in bamboo had nothing to do he decided to go out and buy him some shoes.

Most were to big and many to small, there would he find nothing at all? And there in the light was such a delight! He saw all the colors of pink, black and white. All in one shoe what next should he do?
Then the man in  bamboo with nothing to decided to buy those wonderful shoes. Showing them off wherever he walked the people around them stood in dumb-shock.
"Who would buy such a silly shoe? Why, only a man who lived in bamboo! What a pity, what a waste,  what horrid bad taste! Does this man not possess any pride?"

The man with his shoes and nothing to do went back to abide in his house of bamboo. From there he lay peaceful and gay to flyaway in his sleep. Dreams of lands and of bright-rays, sunbeams and clouds all one day! Peaceful and deep was he in his sleep until he awoke by a thud. He looked around heard no other sound, then set back his head to sleep. Then he woke to roar from a door at least a few rooms away. Then he left  to explore, what could be behind such noisy door? Maybe a cat or perhaps a rat? From behind the door, much to his horror, there no cat nor rat. It was a monster; a large ugly shoe who looked at the man screaming "you!"

The man fell to his face pleading his fate, asking his shoe to not eat him!
"Foolish man! I am your shoe, the one you bought from fufu-londu. I only roar because I adore you giving attention to me. You threw me away-- into the dust! And to think, master, I gave you my trust! Not a home, not a bed you left me for dead! I feel you have abandoned me!"  Then the shoe shad a tear; part-reluctant from fear had sat at his master's side. The man kicked the shoe then headed for bed  for there was nothing left that had to be said.
The shoe hid away without further delay then sat there and cried, and cried. He saw next to him a wonderful Croc-shoe. He stayed and he talked then  went for a walk with his new found best friend Croc.
