Shoo, Heels!
I’m short. Five-foot-zero, to be specific. But I never wear heels. Okay, I do have one pair of special-occasion shoes with a one-inch heel. Does that even count?
I forswore high heels way back in my early twenties. Why? Isn’t it obvious? Because they hurt! Besides, even if I braved three-inch heels, I’d still be really short. Plus I’ve never thought teetering was all that sexy.
And that brings me to my latest limerick:
Shoo, Heels!
By Madeleine Begun Kane
I’m short, but wear flats — never heels.
Cuz they hurt. Gals, you know how it feels.
So my word to height seekers:
Just give me some sneakers,
Or flip flops, or better yet — wheels.

For a good, comfortable pair of flip flops shop Havaianas

I’m with you on comfortable shoes, Mad. :)
On another note, I’ve nominated you for a Beautiful Blogger Award, which I hope you’ll accept. I enjoy your sense of humor, so that counts as “beautiful”, I do believe. Beautiful Blogger Award
Thanks, Joyce. That’s very kind of you. I’ll check out that post of yours. Thanks again for the lovely compliment!
Dear Madeleine,
In case you don’t know, flip flops are terrible for your feet and body if warn for protracted lengths of time.
Love and happy new year -
Alexis (and I still wear very high heels, even at night on the cobblestone sidewalks of San Miguel de Allende)
Hi Alexis. We each have our own vices. :) How on earth do you walk in high heels on cobblestones? I can barely manage that in sneakers!
