An Empty Bootie

The chilly winter’s day

Turned hard and bitter



“be a good little chap Dave

could you be brave

and venture back to the frozen lake

your baby sister Ava

has lost a bootie

and the weather is too cold

for her to go without“

Dave shrugs his shoulders

And trudges off

“Oh Ava, I wonder

What’s taking Dave so long”

Suddenly two hysterical children

Came running towards them

“Help!”

“we just a boy

fall through the ice

on the frozen lake

we look into the hole

but all we saw

was a babies bootie

“He was Gone!”
