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.
