Sidi J. Mahtrow - Eldritch Mungo's Boots

Those boots were made for selling
Not for walking
Cause they were sold as the very best
Without mentioning all the rest.

The tops were made in India
The soles in China
The laces came from Malaysia
The leather from the USA.

And the price you paid was for the advertising
Materials, construction, packaging and shipping.
Of course there's the profits too
Which came to all those who served you.

So bemoan the fact that the soles cracked and fell apart
But next time, the best place to start
Is to look for a product actually made
In the Good Old USA.
