To most Americans it came as news:
To show your disrespect you throw your shoes
Directly at the guy you’re disrespecting
(When shoes are not at all what he’s expecting).
Should this catch on here in the USA,
It’s possible George Bush should stay away
From, say, New Orleans. Otherwise, I’d posit,
He’d see more shoes than in Imelda’s closet.
