Ode To My Big Green Boots

Oh my big green boots
Oh dear me
Where would I be without you, my big green boots?

To think, big green boots, to think I used to walk around
Walk around the very city I walk around now with YOU my big green boots
YOU
I would walk around that very city, big green boots, in shoes that were not only made of rubber, big green boots
Rubber!
But also had holes in them, big green boots.

You can imagine, big green boots
as can anyone with even the slightest imagination
That with the changing of the seasons
And the falling of the snow
That my feet, big green boots, may have gotten a tad wet and cold.

Well let me just state here and now, big green boots, to say those feet got a TAD wet and cold would be the worst of all understatements!
For the holes in these old shoes were the most convenient of passage ways to my feet, big green boots, for the wintery weather!

But now, with you, my big green boots, I can brave the wettest and coldest of the wintery season
With our powers combined, big green boots
With my outrageous height and stride and overall size, big green boots
And you with your bulk and warmth and overall waterproofness, big green boots
Together we have braved over seven of the city's deepest and broadest puddles.

Together, big green boots, the possibilities are endless.
Together, big green boots, we can rule the world.

Rich with imagery I'm not soon to forget.

This poem has changed my life.

Please allow me to play some sort of minion role as your boots assist your quest for world domination.

Also, I would like Iceland.

No promises. I have had my own plans for Iceland for quite some time.
