My Hubby and His Dream Boots

What a time we have had looking for those special boots.

Author’s own photos

My hubby has got some new boots.

He’s wanted a pair for so long.

And because they had to be just right

Our shopping they did prolong.

These had to be very special boots

Made of the softest of leather,

With well ridged soles and waterproof tops

Allowing use whatever the weather.

They had to have room for his sensitive toes

With cushioned inners that mould to his feet.

And air must be allowed to circulate

So his tootsies didn’t suffer from heat.

His demands were hard to accommodate

And he dragged me from shop to shop,

Until at last we saw the dream boots

Which brought our trials to a stop.

He tried them on and a sigh did emit

At the comfort he felt from within.

He hopped and he skipped around the store

On his face an enormous grin.

Now he takes his walks and shows them off,

And he’s thrilled with the each step that he treads.

He even asked me with a twinkling eye

If he could wear them tonight in bed.

Great poem! I hope your husband enjoys his boots for a long time. My husband used to buy work shoes and he was just so happy when he found a pair. Even regular shoes, but he wanted to wear out the shoes he had and never wore his new shoes. In fact, we have shoes he never wore. He also had undershirts and socks my daughter gave him for his birthday unworn, I gave them to my son in law. My daughter gave my daughter who gave him the money 35 dollars for them which thrilled the one who got the money!

Very cute poem. Now, he has a pair of cooler boots to dance around.
Eunice Tan on Oct 25, 2011
Another interesting poet.
Judy Kaelin on Oct 25, 2011
Excellent and well written. I know just how he feels, good boots are necessary in winter here. I have a really comfortable pair that I begin wearing at the first snow fall and they are my best friends until Spring.
Christine Ramsay on Oct 26, 2011
Thank you all for your comments. My hubby likes them as much as I do. He even did a pas-de-pas in his boots on the bus the other day for the passengers and nearly fell over when the bus started, lol.
Margaret Boseroy on Oct 26, 2011
What a fun read! Love the picture of your husband’s feet dancing in his new boots (the little glimpse into your garden looks very inviting, by the way). I can almost picture him almost falling over doing the pas-de-pas on the bus (well, his legs anyways).
CA Johnson on Oct 26, 2011
I loved it. That is good that your hubby found a pair of boots that he likes. I thought that was so cute and funny that he wanted to wear them to bed. They must really be comfortable.

Val Mills on Oct 29, 2011
Christine, your poems never cease to entertain and leave me laughing. I do know that feeling of having the perfect boots or shoes, so know how he feels. Did he get to sleepon the sofa that night?
mtrguanlao on Oct 30, 2011

Mark Ramsay on Oct 30, 2011
I can’t wait to see them. I would love to have seen Dad’s pas-de-bas on the bus.
PR Mace on Oct 31, 2011
What a fun poem. My husband is funny about his shoes. In fact I hate to shoe shop with him. But it seems your husband now has happy feet.
