Gasp! Such an egregious sin!
I wore my white sandals to the market
After Labor Day, and long before Easter!
The good ladies of the town,
The ones discriminating in the Dairy Section
Over which yogurt was officially “Greek,”
Looked down on my ill-shod feet,
But forced their condescending smiles.
I saw them again in Frozen Foods,
Their eyes cut down, as if to say,
“Are you still wearing those very wrong shoes?”
“Yes, and I’ll wear them again tomorrow,”
My smirk answers back, “For they are very comfortable,
And my toes approve.”
