Shoes

Shoes

Dirty old shoes deserve a rest
dirty old shoes have stood the test
dirty old shoes were never the best
dirty old shoes bound for the west.

Journey’s end and shuck them off
like hats in honour so to doff
old friends often choose to scoff
common feelings serf or toff.

Dirty old shoes are friends in need
dirty old shoes the walker’s creed.
