Where are my boat shoes?

When you leave shoes in the garden…

I found some shoes in the garden,

well-used and seemingly lost,

So I stuffed them up with potting soil

and filled them up with flowers bright;

I placed them beside the small front porch

and smiled at their unique delight;

Later that day my husband asked

“Have you seen my boat shoes?”

I mumbled, “The ones in the garden?”

Of course he looked at me with, “Yeah….?”

And I smiled back, “They’re still there.”
