Snazziest Boots Ever

the snazziest boots ever arrived by Prime delivery today
The lid flew off the box, and the boots yelled out “hey! hey!”
They line danced around the kitchen, clomping up my floor.
My husband came to see them and yelled “forevermore!”

“Where did you get these boots?” he asked, scared of them he was.
I truly did not know but they were stomping now like FBI fuzz.
I took a peek at the address, and guess what? They were not mine.
They were now doing a kick that rivaled any chorus line.

They belong one street over, I said, but I wonder what size they are.
You are not keeping them surely! My husband yelled from afar.
I am thinking about it I admitted as they threw themselves against a wall.
These boots were a party waiting to happen, so loud and proud and tall.
