The Red Boots 



It's a wonder we do not all get tied up in knots

As some rules of policy are apt to make us hot

Clearance items can only be sold for outright cash

No layaways are possible, so don't even ask 



So you have to decide which goes, and which stays

Slippers and one pant are the only items allayed

The other pant, and shirt, and boots and sneakers

Will have to be paid for cash ... or given the beaker

 

So you take the necessary footwear and give up all t'other

Altho' you find you want to use them to kick the policy shover

But, you walk away from the store with your happy new feet

Even tho' your head feels like it's been sliced up in the street
