Anne-Lise Andresen Poet Narrative

- Yellow Boots Sing -

A long time ago
            A little boy - he was only three
            Blue eyes and hair white like snow
            The sun was his playmate
            The rain was his enemy
            Drip, drip wet and cold
            He asked for YELLOW boots
            Yellow boots wondered his mom and dad
            Boys use blue or black boots
            No - YELLOW they had to be
            The boy in just three years got new YELLOW boots
            First rainy day the boy was ready
            Drip, drip wet and cold
            YELLOW boots are singing - they will sing the sun back
            Under his big black umbrella
            the boy goes with his singing YELLOW boots
            This little boy was my brother





            * " - A true YELLOW song - "

Toquyen Harrell November 23, 2013 at 3:22 PM That reminds me of a little boy in a yellow rain jacket and yellow boots that I saw a while back who was acting as a school crossing guard.
