Festive Cheer
As a permanent foothole-prisoner, the only festive cheer I get to experience is a fleeting glimpse of my guard-mistress's festive socks as I humbly kiss-respect her boots through the humble hatch at the base of my cell door!
Guard-mistress Ms Aneka madam is wearing her festive socks... |
...to remind me that yet another Christmas has come and I am still incarcerated in this foothole cell... |
...and always will be; year after year; Christmas after Christmas; until I die! |
And even then this cell shall become my tomb as the hatch will then be permanently sealed shut! |
There is no escape - I am a foothold prisoner-slave for life; and in death! |
Not that guard-mistress Ms Aneka madam feels even remotely sorry for me! |
To be clear, she is not wearing her festive socks in an attempt to cheer me up! |
It's simply that she's off to a party after her shift this evening. The rest of her festive attire is in her locker! |
But it is nonetheless such a blessing for a lowly prisoner like me to see different socks inside my guards' boots from their usual, regulation-uniform, plain grey socks! |
My guards' socks are my life and, intentional or not, the mere sight of officer-mistress Ms Aneka's festive-themed socks does lift my spirits! |
For I know her socks will soon be off to the party and having a good time even if I cannot accompany them! |
I therefore wish her socks well, and a merry Xmas! |
It is only right and proper that such superior socks should enjoy themselves at Xmas... |
...whilst I continue to languish alone in my foothole-cell! |
