Years ago the Miami Herald ran a literary contest where you
had to write a piece in the style of famous writers. One of
the honorable mentions was a hysterically funny short story
entitled, "The Old Man and the Shoes" which began--I'm
quoting from memory here:
"The old man loved the boy. And the boy loved the old man.
But then came the police, and the social workers, and finally
the court order, and the old man saw the boy no
more...."
