I'm An Artist. But It's Not What I Really Want To Do.

I'm an artist.
But it's not what I really want to do.
What I really want to do is be a shoe salesman.
I know what you're going to say --
"Dreamer! Get your head out of the clouds."
All right! But it's what I want to do.
Instead I have to go on painting all day long.

The world should make a place for shoe salesmen.
-- J. Feiffer
