A Poem That Has The Same First Line As A Very Famous Poem

________________________________________________________________________________________________

the barefoot boy

jumped for joy

when he touched sand

life was grand

the dream within reach

found him at the beach

white waves of water

said,

Jump in, you oughta 

and so he did

far down he dove

deep down

into a cove

where water's color was

one thousand shades of blue

lo and behold,

he found an old brown shoe

back on shore

the leather boot

fit perfectly

on his left foot

he made his neighbors

laugh and hoot

as he walked home

with one bare foot

***
