Living In a Boot

There was an old man that lived in a big boot
He had lots of bills but not a lot of loot

The boot was old with the insole almost gone
And the bottom was tough and hard to sleep on

He tried to make a fire to cook him a meal
But it got out of hand and burned off the heel

He spent a lot of time cleaning up the soot
Then one day he was squashed by a big foot!
