Daily Choice

You will often see

Muddy

Or dusty boots

Upon my feet

Sporting high heels

Is just not for me

At least during the day

Sometimes I see

The office ladies

All dolled up

And it makes me kind of wish

Stilettos

Fancy dresses

And makeup

Were on my daily attire list

But a construction site

Is unforgiving

When you don’t dress the part

If I wear the wrong shoes

And prance around

Trying to avoid

The mud and dust

I won’t get much done

So daily I make my choice

To fill my thermos

Pull on my boots

Grab my gloves

Just go out

And get to it
