Snarky Shoe (1)

One legend. 

Two versions. 

Both 

As true as false.

Both about 

 A shoe. 

Which is which is 

Up to you. 

In the first, 

A shoemaker, 

A goldsmith 

In the second, 

ill - tempered 

 Either way.  

CursedBy a stone 

 One day: 

Every swearword would 

 Be repeated by his shoe, 

Another one added 

 Each time, 

That man tried to put 

 It on or off. 

Selling? 

Reasonable. 

Oh, if only stayed it 

At its new home! 

Oh, if only  

All of the earned money 

Would not 

Be gone! 

And each time, 

The shoe reappeared 

In front of the man's hut, 

 Another swearword 

Could be heard.
