I took my lunch break wearing socks,
\nI walked outside for several blocks<\/p>\n
My shoes were new they hurt my feet,
\nTurned my poor heels to raw, red meat.<\/p>\n
The pain was getting so intense,
\nTo walk much more just made no sense.<\/p>\n
I took them off, I stepped right out,
\nThe cool relief \u2019bout made me shout.<\/p>\n
I walked as normal down the street,
\nIn shirt, tie, pants, and stocking feet.\u00a0 <\/p>\n
I padded down the sidewalk there,
\nMet several, odd, inquiring stares.<\/p>\n
Right in the heart of old D.C.,
\nMy socks, to all, were plain to see.<\/p>\n
I first went down to mail a card,
\nThe pavement wasn’t all that hard.<\/p>\n
I then sat in the sun to eat,
\nA sandwich full of luncheon meat.<\/p>\n
Still wearing socks they felt so good,
\nWas feeling free of must and should.<\/p>\n
When my repast was over and done,
\nI walked right back (I couldn’t run).<\/p>\n
And this time kept my new shoes off,
\nI did not care if folks would scoff.<\/p>\n
I stepped into the elevator,
\nI’d worry ’bout propriety later.<\/p>\n
I got back to my desk, my space,
\nBut torture shoes did not replace.<\/p>\n
I think this has a moral, dear,
\nSo lean way over, lend an ear.<\/p>\n
If you wear things that make you vain,
\nbut ultimately give you pain<\/p>\n
Then stop, pause, halt, desist and quit,
\nand only buy things that really fit.<\/p>\n
