My Walking Boots

I have two pairs of boots for walking
one is navy and the other brown
really comfortable they are
step by step up and down

On my travels around Scotland
my boots are always on
one day brown the other navy
many miles travelled dusk to dawn

They go to many a place
Edinburgh, Stirling and Ayr
also Dumfries, Perth and Fife
over border too for change of air!

Many a mile they've travelled
over hill, path, glen and coast
but always keep their comfort
truly superb that I can boast

Hope they last a while yet
that would be real good
many more miles to travel
keeps me fit but never nude!

lol Gordon. At least your feet won't be nude. Keep your kilt on, too lad, while ye be traipsing all o'er the heather. You have rekindled my desire to visit Scotland.

Yes, I'm in New Orleans. I watched a series called Monarch of the Glen, and I was taken by the scenery.
