Sensible Shoes

My light poem for the weekend frivolity. Channeling my inner Nancy Sinatra. Have a good one! Kick up your heels! ;)

Now you know I have a thing for shoes
I've shoes for every mood
I'd rather have my Michael Kors
than spend my dime on food
My preference you realize
are pointy toed and high
kitten heels, sexy straps
or on wedges I'll get by
My signature? red tartan pumps
I've been stopped on the street
by those with true shoe envy
who just can't believe these feet
Given that my penchant
is for four inches and more
why were there no eyebrows raised
after the last trip to the store?
Row upon row of high heeled beauties
stacked with loving care
and I bring home four new pairs
of running shoes to wear?
He should have seen it coming
and started some sweet talking
Because in my world, sensible shoes
means your baby plans on walking

definitely something for men to ponder...let your lady explore and exploit her shoe fancy, or she may just walk.....i never got the whole "shoe" thing with women but to be fair...they never got the whole music and movie and car thing with me. it's kinda like boys and their toys....women wanna play too, and many of them seem to love to feel pretty and......shoes do that for them! frankly, i prefer a woman with a thing for scanty lingerie, but whatever makes them happy is fine by me. nice write!

Thanks Quinny! I was inspired by that nancy Sinatra song "these boots were made for walking". I managed to post a picture of my fave boots with the poem, but could not get it to centre on the boots only. You have to click on the picture to get the boots to show. Wish I was more technologically gifted!

[quinfinn]

that song always made me wanna "do" Nancy for some weird reason, so i guess there is something going on that doesn't quite meet the eye with this whole shoe phenom. wonderfully done!

[LA Lorena]

LOL! It's a great song! Full of spunk and attitude!

[David Scott]

"These boots were made for walking" comes to mind.
I'll never understand this affection , but I can appreciate it.
Maybe more here than just a fun little trip to buy shoes...
I enjoyed the write.

[LA Lorena]

Yep, I was channeling my inner Nancy Sinatra here! Shoes and boots can make a loud statement.

[Relic]

Woman seem to pay attention to their shoes as much as a man pays attention to his...well, you get the point. Perfect flow and rhymes. It meet my approval. :) Great writing LA.

[LA Lorena]

glad you enjoyed it relic.

[Sheila Kline]

Oh how delightful!! Yep, when we buy walking shoes, then it has to mean somebody is gonna be doing the walk out the door!
Great write...can't believe how you used shoes to make such a powerful message!!!

[LA Lorena]

shoes are a wonderful way to make a statement!

[Sheila Kline]

Yes, yes, yes!! I love boots too!! I have to post a pic of me in my pink leather, lace-up the side boots. They are jazzy!! Of course, I can only post the boots - the top part is rated R....a hot pink bra, with black lace overthrow and a silly pink hat! It is fun to be crazy!!

[LA Lorena]

LOL! I think you should post the whole damn thing!

[Sheila Kline]

I'll post it in a message to you.......you tell me if it's toooooo risque!! It's all in fun, but the tops of my black lace thigh highs show...lol

[LA Lorena]

You're going to let *ME* do a judgement call? Have you seen what I write and post? Are you crazy? Or just looking for permission to let your hair down and have some fun? Have at it Ms Sheila! Cut loose!

[Frieda P]

HAHAHA do I get a vote?!

[LA Lorena]

No vote for you FP. I've seen it, and I say she needs to post it!

[Frieda P]

Go for it Lady Love!

[Sheila Kline]

Done...........posted as a poem, TGIF - Thank God I'm Flirty and Over 30!! I have so much fun being silly and modeling like this! We need to laugh!! Thanks for the inspiration!!!

[Frieda P]

Oh gawd I love this....how the heck did you manage to send a message in the end with a poem about shoes, very clever, you're even smarter than I thought. :P
I bet I have more shoes than you do....they call me Imelda.

[LA Lorena]

I can't count that high.

[Frieda P]

ok, well how many digits then? :P

[LA Lorena]

honey, I could have my own damn store

[Frieda P]

jaysus we really are related...

[LA Lorena]

do you do purses too? I am not just Imelda. I'm more multi-dimensional. I am the true accessory queen. Shoes, purses, scarves, baubles. I got the goods.

[Frieda P]

yeah but not to the extreme of shoegasms :P

[Frieda P]

that was the name of one of my poems I wrote, will have to try and recreate it again...

[LA Lorena]

LOL. I remember your shoegasm! I'll have to see if I can find my picture of me in my tartan pumps for you. I only mangaed to find this one with the hooker boots.

[Frieda P]

OMG are you trying to entice me LA? ;-)

[LA Lorena]

not me, innocent until proven guilty!

[LA Lorena]

I did find one with the tartan shoes, but it's hard to see them. will try to post them to my album.

[Frieda P]

Ha you just my fukitol Friday orgasm! ;-)

[DrD]

Ah, the shoe fetish of women everywhere and the horrendous experience of any man who went shoe shopping with a woman. You have captured the theme perfectly as an Imelda personator and given us a truly enjoyable read.

I'm cowboy boots and sandals myself but; to each their own. Any place I can't wear my sandals I wear my boots. One is for comfort and the other is for safety...that's all I need. Am I a cowboy? Well, I can ride, shoot and rope...I own a few hats; among them a Stetson and a Resistol...I can tie a harness from a piece of rope and cinch my own saddle. But I hate stupid cows. So...no...not a cowboy. Just a guy who likes to ride horses and live in the country. You gals and your shoes...sheesh...

[northern monkey]

Whimsical. Smiling from ear to to ear.

Ooh I had a lovely pair of Micheal Korrs sunglasses and my son broke them :(
Still I love shoes..I think its because no matter how much weight we put on..our feet don't get any bigger LOL

[Aidz]

Umm I agree with Dream Weaver... good write though ;)
