Little Joe’s snow boots were missing
And he was making quite a fuss.
Teacher told him he must hurry
Or he was going to miss his bus.

She pointed to the last two boots
In a puddle, next to the stair.
She said to Joe, “Aren’t those your boots,
That pair of white ones sitting there?”

“You pulled your boots off this morning,
So surely you just have to know.”
“But that pair can’t be my snow boots,
‘Cause mine were caked all up with snow.”
