I suppose the best thing you can say about my humble
position in life is that I provide a useful public service – shining the shoes of my
betters with my menial, municipal mouth.
Take the customer-mistress whom I am currently serving, for
example. She demands that I tongue-shine her shoes for the benefit of her
boyfriend as she is on her way to meet him. What an honour, what a privilege –
to lickshine the shoes of another man’s girlfriend, a much better man than me
(he must be, given that he is the chosen sexual partner of such a bright and
fabulous young woman!)
 |
I am always on duty - always ready to provide a public service |
 |
'Shine my shoes, boy! I'm about to meet up with my boyfriend, and I want my shoes to be nice and shiny for him!' |
 |
The pretty customer-mistress then relaxes back in the shoelick chair as I get to work |
 |
I tongueshine her black leather shoes... |
 |
...next to her socks |
 |
Indeed, her sock towers dominantly over me |
 |
I am less than her sock |
 |
Moreover, I must not touch her sock - not without her explicit female permission! |
 |
I must therefore be especially careful as I lickshine her shoestrap |
 |
Meanwhile the wearer of the shoes and socks ignores me |
 |
I dare not look at her above the sock... |
 |
...pretty though she is! |
 |
I am fit only to focus on my customer's shoes and socks... |
 |
...and to taste where she has been |
 |
These are, after all, the shoes and socks of another man's girlfriend... |
 |
...of a much better man than me! |
