Hunh, pointed poulaines, shoes "in the Polish style", are directly archaeologically tied to bunyons and increased evidence on bone breaking falls in the English medieval era. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2021/06/210611085617.htm

also, it seems they were being associated with advertising queerness, https://www.museumoflondon.org.uk/discover/lgbt-london-stories-pointy-shoes-and-sodomy

So, along with my iced tea and book, I am eating a Zero candy bar...I think only the second time I have tried one. It's ok, malted milk nugat caramel a hint of almond and peanut... there is something very old fashioned about the flavors. Which is fitting, it rolled out in the 20s, as the double zero bar, marketing it as, literally, a cool treat. Complete wirh polar bears and icicles on the package art.  Lighter and not as cloying as snickers, which hit the market almost a decade later, I am glad these artifacts of the jazz age are still around.

It was where the Roserun wends

Past the point of Pinepudding bend

     Sing bree yark, howl bree yark

beneath a dome of earthy mould

there'd be treasure, we were told

     Sing bree yark, cry bree yark

So with torch, and with sword 

we took our band a'neith the sward

    Sing bree yark, chant bree yark

there in torchy gloom we saw

loverly pictures on the wall

    Sing bree yark, call bree yark

in that dark benieth the mold,

i fear we found but little gold
