Le cordonnier mal chaussé
Yes, just like the shoemaker
Who never bothered to fix his own shoes.
He religiously went to see his friend
In the hospital, took care of his every need
(Even smuggling in stuff that was not allowed...)
All to make sure that his friend lacked for nothing.
Yet, yet, yet.
He never bothered with his own failing health
Refused to follow friends or doctor's advice
''Not one of these quacks is going to cut me up''
Preferring to kill pain with tons of pills
The pain of not being able to help
Saddens me.

May be stoicism is behind some people self- esteem to make them suffer without giving any sign of it..
Un cordonnier mal chaussé fait mal aux pieds, c'est comme etre dans un petrin, en
essayant de donner conseils aux autres, Ironie du sort...mon ami.

It's a cautionary tale and yet one that I have to take into consideration even for myself.
Nicely done.
