We were walking by a vintage
clothing Shoppe, my friend and I when
A stellar pair of Tony Lama
boots called out to her
Actually, it was Ricardo, the
left boot, “Hey Babe!
Look at you-tall, leggy
gorgeous redhead- come over and
Give us a try on- the other
guy’s name is Eddie, I am Ricardo
We think we’d like you to
take us on a walk
Grace, I said, he’s talking
to you!
She laughed, Shall we? As she
pulled open the door
A bell rang and a smiling
shop owner said,
May I help you?
Grace said, I’d like to try
those on.
Ricardo burbled, excitedly,
Did you hear that, Eddie?
That beauteous babe may be
getting us out of here
Eddie said, Anywhere but
here, Ricardo. I miss Austin!
Oh, Stop it, Eddie! You miss
OKC, too and every
Podunk town that cowboy rode
a bull in
Be here now! We’re in
Vancouver and life is about to
Get a whole lot better-we’ve
been discovered!
If we’re lucky, no livestock
will ever crunch our uppers
Or dang near pull our heels
off again!
If this lady decides we fit,
we may get a softer life
I got news for you, Ricardo,
city sidewalks ain’t pillows
No, but if we’re lucky,
she’ll
Oh Ricardo, you’re such a
dreamer…
Grace said, Oh they fit
perfectly, I’ll take them!
We walked out smiling and
heard Ricardo say to Eddie,
Dreams do come true, Eddie…
Ya just got to believe they
do!

newly purchased grey Tony Lama boots,
