‘Shine my shoes, slave!’
All this customer-mistress, quite rightly, cares about is the
state of her shoes. She doesn’t care about:
- The state of my slave tongue
- What her shoes taste like
- The fact that she isn’t wearing socks
- The fact that I am permanently and uncomfortably immured in
this wall
Likewise, my only concern is to do a good job on her shoes,
and to thus avoid the sting of the municipal authority’s lash!
 |
| Stern and aloof, this middle-aged customer mistress only cares about one thing... |
 |
| ...namely, the state of her SHOES! |
 |
| And rightly so, for the wellbeing of her SHOES is more important than the wellbeing of my TONGUE! |
 |
| I'm just a SLAVE! |
 |
| I am obliged to look directly at her VEINY FOOTSKIN... |
 |
| ...as the esteemed customer-mistress isn't wearing any SOCKS or STOCKINGS |
 |
| I am reminded that every BLEMISH in her FEET is worth more than me! |
 |
| Her SHOES taste VILE... |
 |
| ...as SHOES always do! |
 |
| But it is a vile taste I am accustomed to... |
 |
| ...after years of humbly lickshining other people's SHOES! |
 |
| That's all I am - a PUBLIC SHOELICK. And, ultimately, that's all I care about - cleaning my betters' SHOES! |
