Ode To Red Shoes

Another older post.....funny how some material things represent success....these red-soled shoes certainly do exactly that to many women, including my grandddaughter (maybe she'll get a pair if she graduates from med school)- so here's to my girl and what I know goes through her mind when she sees picture of "Christian Louboutin's" One word is all that comes to mind- As I hear the tapping of heels on pavement, Christian Louboutin, the slayer of all shoes, I see the smooth black leather studded pumps, The tiny details of his red soles catch my eye, I know when I wear them I will raise my head up high, Rarely do people disapprove, Always sold in pairs – that’s two, I know one day I’ll own a few, Christian Louboutin, the slayer of all shoes! One picture is all that comes to mind- When I see the soles of a special kind, I kick my feet up high, Longing for the day when I can wear those heels with pride, Makeup, hair, and nails all match, My red soles and I can never be detached, The sight of a deep red, It is what I’ve tattooed in my head, Permanently stitched into my view, Christian Louboutin, the slayer of all shoes!
