As I mentioned my wife says they remind her of children's sandals - she is wrong of course (I can say that because she is not going to read this) but is that what you mean?
The 'Eathen in his idleness bows down to wood and stone,

He keeps his side arms awful,
And he leaves them all about,
Until up comes the Regiment and kicks the 'Eathen out.
