Boots Too Big Poem by Gary Diamond

Set yourself up a legend
And like bowling pins watch it crumble
At the tumble of the ball.

Living up to your own hype is a case of remembering
Why you set up these conditions in the first place.
Impressing a woman in some cases
Repelling an enemy in others.

Sometimes those boots are mighty big
Often the best efforts won't give you space enough.
Remembering that love is bound to fail often
But not letting that stop you.
