a tired boot lies on the sill
hangs out its tongue like an old dhole
snores and twitches a dirty sole
with a dried-on daffodil
it dreams of untrodden routes
long forest walks, steep mountain trails
and how it tells bedtime tall tales
to gaped-in-awe puppy-boots

Strangely heart-warming I think. Maybe not what you were going for, but maybe it was!

No, I think it kinda was, Greg, so I think you definitely read it in the right tone. 😀

puppy boots- lol 😀
I am picturing the child-sized boots. Because I think brand new adult-sized boots would act more like teenagers. lol
