L Milton Hankins Poet Limerick

Muddy Boots

I was never particularly proud
Hearing Mother yelling “For cryin’ out loud!
I have just mopped the floor,
Before you opened the door
Muddy boots in the house are not allowed!”

Gershon Wolf May 29, 2021 at 9:03 PM Aw, you just knew how to press her buttons, young man! Good one, Milt. Happy Sunday! :) gw L Milton Hankins May 29, 2021 at 9:42 PM Yeah, I did, sometimes. It was one of the things she most hated, and considering the work involved, I can understand why (as an adult!) Thanks for the visit, and happy Sunday to you!
