CARLY’S BOOTS

Carly’s boots

were big

and

round.

<=>

They made a

clomp,

clomp,

clompity sound.

<=>

They were

the ones

that day

she had found

<=>

to help

her feet

stay dry

and

move forwards,

backwards

and

all around.

<=>

Yet there

were three girls

who began

to snicker.

<=>

They said

her big boots

looked like

big potatoes,

only thicker.

<=>

Carly grew sad.

<=>

Carly felt hurt.

<=>

She felt bad

<=>

yet

she did not want

for her tears

to fall

or to splurt.

<=>

Carly liked

potatoes

and

Carly liked

her boots.

<=>

They were big

and

worn

<=>

yet

they skipped

and

did fun scoots.

<=>

She thought

the other girls,

must not

even know,

<=>

how her boots

had helped her

to walk through

heavy snow.
