Ms Mukta, accompanied by her husband, explains that they are
on their way to visit an exhibition and she mockingly invites me to accompany
them as their slave before suddenly ‘remembering’ that I can’t move from my
humble head spot, on account of my being immured up to the neck in concrete
brick! She says it’s a shame, as I could have crawled behind them on my hands
and knees and studied the backs of their socks as they walked around the exhibition.
She then orders to me to kiss her husband’s feet and apologise to his socks for
not being able to accompany them to heel and thus study their creases and folds
as her husband walks around in his shoes and socks, which I duly do:
‘Oh pray, master Simon sir’s socks, begging your pardons
master Simon sir’s socks sirs, pray forgive this lazy and indolent slave for
not being able to accompany you to the exhibition, most glorious masterful
socks, and to study your creases and folds as your wearer walks along, masters
the socks. I’m just an impotent public humble head, masters, not fit to be in
your august presence, oh superior master Simon’s socks sirs?’
The happy couple laugh at me as Ms Mukta madam graciously
says her husband’s socks forgive me, as they fully realise I am just a weak and
impotent public footslave and that I have other work to do – namely kissing the
feet of passers-by. Master Simon’s socks, and his wife’s socks, them
dismissively turn their backs on me and walk away, leaving me feeling sock-bereft.

These are the superior socks that I should be accompanying to heel! Shame on me! |
