Lowly Sandal Sucker
It’s not just the princess’s feet that I must kiss in the palace corridor, but the feet of all the women who pass by me. That’s because I am the lowest of the low – a common, ornamental footslave.
|  | 
| Kissing the feet of one of the palace maids | 
|  | 
| She might be a maid, but she is still a million times higher up the social scale than me! | 
|  | 
| I am the lowest of the low - a mere kisser of corridor feet! | 
|  | 
| My lowly lips are not even considered worthy enough to touch my betters' bare toenails! | 
|  | 
| I can look at their toenails, but not touch them! | 
|  | 
| So near, and yet so far! | 
|  | 
| I'm just a 'sandal sucker' | 
|  | 
| My lowly lips must constantly embrace the pointy sandal-toes of my Egyptian betters! | 
|  | 
| I am forbidden even to look up at their sandalled legs! | 
|  | 
| How they despise me! | 
|  | 
| They cannot believe how lowly and insignificant I am! | 
|  | 
| A mere 'thing' down in the dirt that SUCKS on their SUPERIOR SANDALS! | 
|  | 
| A nothing and a nobody! | 
|  | 
| Unfit even to touch BARE FEET with my menial mouth! |
