Ode To Rubber Boots

“Ode to Rubber Boots”
By Rachel Heffington

In rubber boots you’re free to wade 
Through puddle and through creek;
In rubbers you’re invincible! 
(Excepting when they leak!)

Describes rubber boots or (wellingtons as we call them often) perfectly.

Oh! I hadn't even heard about that contest. :) I actually wrote this poem quite some time ago when tramping through knee-deep, rain-sodden grass on an old-fashioned country tramp through our back fields. :)
