The Birth of Shoe
The princess displayed
her blistered soles
to the gathered court
and demanded that
the earth be covered
with soft leather to
protect her feed
going forward
A soft voice from the back:
“Perhaps we can protect
her majesty’s soles by
less leather, holding up
a prototype shoe for all
to see and oh and ah at
“It’s leather sole will
protect the Earth
from your feet.”
The princess said,
“Hm, that’s an idea.”
To the eternal gratitude
of all cobblers
and hide-bearing animals
