Boots


As I did prepare to leave work today
the sky opened up and a flood rained down
I ran for my car and began to pray
that I would reach it before I did drown

I drove to the place where I'd meet my friend:
the restaurant we had agreed upon.
Alas! the rain still had not met its end
I sat in the car a moment, withdrawn.

I dreaded the sprint to the restaurant
and that water that would soon soak my feet
but my mood quickly changed to nonchalant
as I thought of the boots in my back seat

I'd forgotten that they were even there,
but they kept me dry through the soggy air.
