politic socks

mickey had her messages
which she didn't keep in locks
she expressed herself in her wardrobe
but kept her politics to her socks

on war, on greed, on racism
she surely had her views
but what they were, you could not tell
for her slogans were blocked by her shoes

many feet were marching
the protest did unwind
while others had signs or shirts to say
nobody knew mickey's mind

mickey got so radical
now everyone understands
she took off her shoes to unfurl her socks
and walked the parade on her hands
