i like your boots, dear

of course

i like your new boots, dear.

black

and shiny,

with a zipper up

the side,

but i also

like the short white ones,

and the red ones too,

that rise up

above your knees,

and the brown

ones

and even the green

ones

that you wear

once a year.

but it's not about the leather,

or the style,

or the cost, dear,

it's more about the leg

that's in them.

come on over here.
