 « Wellies and me » 
by Sean P. BONNER
This poem was written by Sean Bonner as a tribute to the functional footwear that is rubber Wellington boots. For Sean these type of boots where a real comfort through every stage of life and became a gift to his well being and a source of great pleasure to him which he has shared and made part of who he is as a person and Artist and teacher.

All in all there are few people who really could be called welly man than Sean P Bonner.


« Wellies and me »

Then small and cute and light and snug

Splashing, squishing, squeaky,

Step, stamping and stumping here there and everywhere marching like

Soldiers and slow motion walk like spacemen through puddles and

muddy patches getting stuck and unstuck whatever the weather

no reason sought to

Put your wellies on no matter what!

All I needed in uneasy times to slip on for the sake of solace

sought and got snug on my two feet up to my knees flapping and

slapping against my legs kind a hypnotizing me into a comfort

world a real world

Can’t and won’t forget such lovely solace got

Snug and warm in my space rubber boots sturdy and strong on

So guide and Slide your feet into the smelly gift of rubber wellies.

Let them take you beyond yourself to the now no doubt,

never mind the looks the laughs just enjoy the looks and the laughter.

Slip on your wellies now as these rubber boots are fashion.

Rubber boots shinny or faded are real footwear

you can go anywhere everywhere.

Now in these days when exploit multi nationals make “must have”

latest brand names at expense of the wearer and the primary worker

Note the wellies are neutral in all this.

Never mind the latest just wear the wellies

if one don’t have wellies then get yourself a pair and get them on.

Sean P. BONNER,
April 2010.
