Sans Stilettos

Nancy took a tumble And went falling down the stairs. The slickness of the marble Must have caught her unawares. Yet who at 84 years old Wears shoes with 4-inch heels? Though since a hip replacement, There’s a photo that reveals That Pelosi, back at work, Left her stilettos in the dust. She’s sporting clogs, a look to which She might have to adjust. We all make compromises As we ratchet up the years, Though despite her new flat shoes, She still will tower o’er her peers.
