Beckett's Boots
Dark, long, made of leather,
first seen in rainy weather
Power, confidence, style
many would love to gaze a while.
At night by lantern's glowing fire,
they spied two shoes and wished to inquire,
What lady did wear them so well,
their lord did like her they could tell.
A few graceful steps, ones quite long,
and the boots were smitten with love so strong.
Alas! Poor boots, it was not fate,
the lady and shoes departed into the late.
And so the lovely boots still sigh,
hoping the lady and shoes will stroll by.
