RIP My Wellingtons

Tell us about your favorite pair of shoes, and where they’ve taken you.

My Wellingtons passed the other day

They had a good life I’m glad to say

The sole had cracked and they began to leak

Sadly they will never become antique

I remember well the day they were bought

Five years ago,I thought then nought,

About how good friends they would be

To my allotment and me,

In every weather,

We were together,

They splurged through mud and claggy clay

And cleaned up nicely the next day,

To  spade and fork  they were a friend

I’m sad that this is now the end.

  1. A poetic farewell to a pair of loyal Wellies—short, heartfelt, and full of memories.
    They didn’t just cover feet; they walked through seasons, weathered storms, and stood by through thick (mud) and thin.
