THE BOOT CUPBOARD
Down in the cupboard, The deep, dark cupboard, The clipboard for boots and shoes, If you hear a squeak And a leathery creak It means that they're telling the news, Exchanging their various <vicics, 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 clotted 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.
