A Shoemaker Makes Shoes

Thoughts on the A Shoemaker Makes Shoes Nursery Rhyme

Although the nursery rhyme that begins “A shoemaker makes shoes without leather” is known best as a classic rhyme of old England, little else is known about the exact origins of this time-honored verse. What is known, however, is that this four-line rhyme is among the most mysterious and greatly debated in history. Over the years many people have indeed asked, “What shoemaker makes shoes without leather?” Some have taken a practical approach to the matter, explaining that those who make horseshoes do not use leather; and neither do people who weave socks and slippers. Others reference the remainder of the poem, “With all four elements put together, Fire and Water, Earth and Air: Every customer gets two pair?”, saying that the verse has deeper spiritual meaning. And in modern times, animal rights activists have referenced the rhyme as a call for an overall ban against leather in the making of shoes and other clothing items. With this in mind, the host of a baby shower could morph “A shoemaker makes shoes without leather” into a fun and creative baby shower game. In this game, each guest could be challenged to make a pair of shoes, using anything but leather in their resulting creation. Have plenty of craft materials and party supplies on hand to help guests facilitate this mission, ranging from paper to wood to blocks of chocolate and cheese. Prizes could include those candied or bubble gum baby bottles—or perhaps some ceramic flip flops or miniature fabric high heels—that they sell in gift shops.
