THE BOOT CUPBOARD
Down in the cupboard, The deep, dark cupboard, The cupboard for boots and shoes, If you near a squeak And a creak It means, that they’re telling the news, Exchanging their various views, The slippers, the boots, and the shoes. The ■ hob-nailed boot has a voice rather hoarse. The brogue has a bit of a brogue, of course; And Clara’s clogs clatter their clicketyclack As they do on the cobblestones round at the back; - The Wellington’s tone is most aristocratic, And Granny’s felt slippers are rather asthmatic. All in the cupboard, The deep, dark cupboard, The cupboard for boots and shoes.
