  2. “Coax, cajole the fears,
    Consumed by thinking dreadful dread,
    And think of nothing at all instead.”
    I often wish I could. There’s a lot going on up in my head, too.😵‍💫

      4. Did they have zippers or did you just pull them on. I am not a boot aficionado.😆

      5. No zip. They were like a long leather sock with hells. They made me feel like a highwayman.
