My regular customer Ms Mukta madam has brought along her friend, Ms Arabella madam,
so that I might wish the latter well as she is about to embark on a trip to
Australia where she hopes to find work. Ms Mukta orders me to kiss her friend’s
feet and praise and bless her.
As I humbly comply with Ms Mukta’s wishes, Ms Arabella jokes
that she wishes she could take me with her, as she will need a slave in
Australia to take care of her shoes and socks! It’s purely a joke, of course,
since Ms Arabella madam knows I can’t go anywhere. I’m just a public footslave –
permanently immured in this wall.
Still, it’s a nice thought – especially as Ms Arabella madam
is wearing such fabulous socks!

Praising and blessing Ms Arabella madam and wishing her well for her forthcoming adventure |
|
She's wearing fabulous socks... |
|
...dark grey, with little pink lovehearts festooned all over them! |
|
I feel unworthy to stare at her socks as I kiss her black shoeleather |
|
But when she jokes about my accompanying her to Australia as her personal sock and shoe slave... |
|
...I contemplate what a nice thought that is! |
|
Of course, accompanying Ms Arabella madam abroad would mean that I would no longer get to see regular customer Ms Mukta's socks |
|
And that would be a shame! |
|
Perhaps I would do better to just remain here in my dirty alcove? |
|
It's academic, of course - I'm not going anywhere! |
|
It's not my decision to make. I'm just a municipal footslave |
|
Even Ms Arabella madam doesn't have the authority to take me as her personal footslave! |
