From July 21, 2017, another of my favorite silly poems. Because of my apelike toes, I wear the large, unladylike size of 11. This poem is my lament whilst shopping.
Plus-Size Podiatry
O, footwear on that narrow shelf
Daintily curved ’round your arch:
How appealing, how smart you poise
Atop, as if lining to march.
O, footwear, you awaken some
Feminine joy -I’ll confide.
Even in such a tom-boy me,
I squeal a tad deep inside.
O, footwear, I search hungrily
And seize your match in my size.
But, alas! Once again, I find
You, when that large, look like guys’.
Sighs.

I was always told I needed a good base or foundation. The size sighs at the end was a clever touch.

Ahhhh ….2 of my children have very long toes which I would say add at least a size to their shoes and their feet …..Feet to me are not the nicest part of a body are they unless you are really lucky and I am guessing most are not xx

Yeah. I need a big box toe. My mom wore an extremely narrow 11 and had a hard time finding shoes to fit. She never wore heels because she was so tall and because of her back and because-well there was some “religious” reason later on.

Your mother has my same problems, minus the religious one. 😉

Well you know heels “makes a woman look sexy” and that’s a sin.

Mine’s merely a matter of feeling silly, falling over, and not wanting to surpass my husband.
