New Boots Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

New Boots



New boots...
Should not be worn near mud.
New boots...
Should be broken in on concrete
Before broken in to stain,
And remain in mud!

Exits are difficult,
To quickly reach.
When mud suspected,
Unnoticed begins thin.
And soon thickens slowly,
As the same nonsense heard...
Catches one off guard.
And wishes to exit.
Without causing a commotion.
Or getting from some,
The staring of eyes.

There is no rushing away.
To an exit quick.
Thick the mud has gotten.
And the one with new boots,
Can't believe how so many...
Can sit through to tolerate,
The same unchanged...
Nonsense heard to hear and get.

Wished...
By the one in new boots worn,
And to this event to wear...
They were prepared,
With a shovel.
To swing to clear the air.
Then dig a path,
Towards the exit.
But unknown to them,
Would be a quick and thick rise
Of acceptable B.S.
And there they had to sit.
With their new boots covered...
In it.
Unable to move.
