Toe To Toe Indulgence

My favorite shoes? It’s wearing none!
I'll go barefoot, to have a run 
I hate to lose
the joy of ooze 
between my toes, some goo is fun !

I simply love my precious toes
to wiggle freely to and fro
Bound feet? Oh dear!
Don’t get me near!
A shoe is torture, and my foe!

I could not dance on twinkle toes
Could not advance my prance or pose
A barefoot stance
Is my best chance
of never needing pantyhose!

Indulge me please, I'll be carefree
Removing shoes, in company
No matter what the circumstance
I'll slip them off at every chance

I'll tuck my feet behind my chair
assuming no one is aware
A happy dance, behind my back,
is going on, and that's a fact!
I hope that you won't think to check,
and say that I have no respect

My toes are happy, to be sure
Indulge me please, but don't despair
I'm saving up for pedicures!

Nicely done. Don't like being barefoot myself, probably because I have high arches...
