You buy us in the store
Each with a large hole
To put your feet in
Pretty soon I will go with you everywhere
Protecting your feet like armour
Through day and night
And rain or shine
I’ll be like a friend
As we will play during the rainy days of April
And relax in the shade during the hot days of July
We will jump into the piles of leaves we rake in October
But all fun must come to an end
When the first snowfall of December rolls around
There will no longer be a need for me
I’ll watch dolefully by your door
Remembering all the fun we had
As you walk to school
In your new winter boots
