Italeau...Fiamma--my brother wishes likewise that they'd fit.
(sonnet #MMMMMMMCDX)
Boots. Suede, Italian, and too small fr'intents,
My toes half bruised from jist one two-hour's scale
As twere of wearing, and lo, for the sale
Which netted me this lux'ry I've naught hence
Save yearning for that glor'ous pair which thence
Must be returned, prayrs for a pair t'avail
Me like these should have, with none in a frail
Excuse 'cept made-in-China boots' defense.
I only text YOU 'bout the size as t'were,
Nor know what YOUR opinion is, if YOU
Care two bits whether I've this pair in tour
Or that, just that Italian boots anew
"Run small." And um, "I wear size ten." But's poor,
Cuz I must foot the bill, with pennies too.

Ask me 6 months from now IF I ever got a pair in MY size....prolly will need by that time to pay full price, and $550 or $600 looks---a tad steep, shall we say? Oh well. IF I am allowed to have them, I hear they're "...worth every penny!"
