Shoeless
In certain homes you can’t wear shoes;
The option isn’t yours to choose.
It doesn’t line up with my views,
But I can understand it.
Though I was just surprised to read
That certain offices took heed
And told employees that they need -
In fact, they did demand it -
To shed their footwear at the door,
No matter what type that they wore.
This order they could not ignore;
The high-ups did command it.
To me, that is a step too far,
For shoes show who you really are
And wearing slippers might just mar
Your rep and how you brand it.
At home, you maybe act the slob,
But when you dress up for your job,
No boss should be allowed to rob
Your look, the way you planned it.
