The shoe of authority: <br />Heel on-pointe, <br />Smooth-stockinged leg <br />In steps adroite. <br /> <br />Swaying skirt <br />Stays close to thigh, <br />As look of business <br />Hits you in eye. <br /> <br />The wider world <br />Of men are slaves; <br />The shoe's the power- <br />The rest, but knaves.<br /><br />Patti Masterman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-shoe-of-authority/
