All In the Name of Style

All in the Name of Style By Elton Camp No male would ever endure submission To his foot in a plantar-flexed position Wearing shoes with four-inch heels Willingly enduring how bad it feels So that his gastrocnemius has grown short Meaning normal walking it does thwart The tibialis anterior and soleus activated With results that will come to be hated It’s stiff the Achilles’ tendon has become Because to style he unwisely did succumb Female folly shoe choice does betray So she always falls when she runs away Writing a sexist poem I have tried One whose truth cannot be denied For doing it, I may get some heat But I don’t have corns on my feet
