Name: Under The Spell Of Shoe

Author: Poetry written by Liam Rector

 I've made a point, over the years, perhaps even a moral point,

Of never having sex with any of the wives of my best men friends.

The closest I came

Was once when I was living alone, house-sitting a Jamesian

House in Chevy Chase, and one of my best friends and his wife

Were spending the weekend

And they went up to bed.

The woman left her pair of shoes on

The floor, on the rug, and I was quite stoned, and I wandered over

And picked up

One of the shoes, and I held the shoe, and, staring deeply into what

I took to be the essence of my friend's wife as she embodied the shoe

And the shoe embodied her,

I imagined her and me fucking each other senseless. It was

Great, and it did no real nor lasting damage to the marriage,

As far as I could tell.

***************************************************************************
39 shoes....39 shoes

what does that tell you?


What's a gal to do


when she's only got 39 shoes?




Wouldn't you know it


It's the very pair


I wanted to wear.




I've hunted and grunted.


searched low, then high


I'm plumb mystified


"Dang it!


Where's my other shoe?!" I cried.




Only so many places


a shoe could hide.


Retraced my footsteps


every inch; near and wide.




This has made me insane.


I've gone quite mad;


things are looking hazy.


I tell ya, I think I'm going crazy.




I've looked under chairs


and couches


up and down the stairs


I need my 40th shoe!




Now what am I going to do?


They were the perfect shade of blue.


But wait! I've got an American Express.


No need for this girl to get depressed.

But until you have brushed a woman's cheek with your trembling lips and brushed your shoes with your wife's new guest towel, you know nothing about love -- or your wife.
