Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart Poet Rhyme

Dating and Shoe Theory

Of a woman's shoes I've heard
The pointier the toe
The higher maintenance she be
How high the heel will show
How high society her needs

I suppose to this there's truth
For flat and wide and comfy
Are the shoes for me
Kind and smart and funny
And down to earth my needs

Jeff Connelly December 5, 2019 at 11:55 AM Funny Maureen, and I'm sure very true. I've never mixed with high society; so don't know what they'd think of timberland boots? Thanks Maureen. Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart December 9, 2019 at 9:18 AM I've dipped a steel toe in it.

Darlene De Beaulieu February 21, 2018 at 12:26 PM Hello Maureen, I have not worn high heels in ages,nor do i want to. I am quit content wearing low heels. Have a nice day my friend. Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart February 22, 2018 at 8:03 AM I can't even wear low heels, I need no heels, which is incredibly hard to find. A lovely day to you Darlene!

Gordon Mcconnell August 1, 2017 at 2:51 PM nice penning Maureen, bringing to light what many must ponder but personally, surely comfort comes first for nothing worse than sore feet! Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart August 2, 2017 at 2:51 PM Indeed! :) thank you!

Sunita U.D Palawon August 1, 2017 at 12:29 PM Oh this is so true...at time I wonder why do women give so much stress to their feet! :D I like the comfy but do go for high at times, to complain a lot later!:D Regs Sunita Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart August 1, 2017 at 1:17 PM Lol, hilarious ;) Well, they're damn sexy and I suppose I would if I could...

Kim Rodrigues August 1, 2017 at 11:41 AM I like comfy too! Though I want prettier sneakers than the ones I own. They fit well and are good for exercise but i don't like their looks... does that make me a snob...lol! Kim Rodrigues August 1, 2017 at 8:17 PM I hope you know I wasn't being serious ;) Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart August 1, 2017 at 1:12 PM No not a snob! Been stuck in men's shoes (feet just sized out of reg market) for years all I want is pretty now! Flat wide & comfy PRETTY :)
