My Galoshes
My galoshes were covered in rain,
I thought, “oh my word! This is a pain!”
But my shoes were found dry,
so I never did cry,
soggy water they seemed to retain.
Before I got home I saw the mess,
I lifted my foot and felt distress.
Doggie doodoo on it,
I did throw a great fit,
my life can't expect anything less!
So I hurried and ran to the hose,
I thought, “oh, thank God the wife doesn’t know!”
She’d kick me to the curb,
my life is so absurd,
“why can’t she just go with the darn flow!”
I walked into the house unaware,
I wondered if Theresa was there.
She caught me red-handed,
there the doo-doo landed,
WHAT??? My galoshes had a deep tear!
