Pit
Boots
The
man that wore
these pit boots to me was seven feet tall
Although
he was small in stature he had seen it all
Mates
crushed on the face tearful wives and hungry kids
Shunted
from pit to pit as they put on the lids
They
now have pop stars for heroes sportsmen and the like
But
in my minds eye all I see is the little fella on his bike
He
did not play for United a singing lesson he never had
But
I will always love him because he was my dad
God
bless (Ernest)
