shoe shinin'

Well,

the cat's sorta out of the bag.

When Tyler was in the Army and up for guard duty,

if he looked snazzy enough, he could get out of it.

So he'd spend an hour spit-shining his boots,

and I'd spend an hour starching his uniform

'til it could stand on its own.

At least half of the time, our work was rewarded 

with Tyler getting the night off :-)

A few weeks ago,

it was time for Tyler to teach Ton'

elite shoe-shining.

cuz 'you ain't fine 'til you got a shine'

And Ton' needed to be fine

for his internship interview with ABF.

Just like the secret to a glass-like shine,

we had to keep it all hush-hush

since Tony hadn't told his boss at MarketPlace

that he might be leaving....

He still hasn't gotten the job yet,

but he's talking to Wes right now...

I'm telling you - ABF takes hiring interns veeery seriously;

Tony has already interviewed with five people!

But if his shoes have any say in the matter - he got the job!
