27 Million Shoes
David Crouch (Journalist) – “…al-Zaidi might as well have thrown
27 million shoes at George Bush, because he was speaking for the vast
majority of the Iraqis.”
Suffocating beneath the soles
lies a befuddled American President,
confused because his inner circle
assured him he was a beloved liberator.
Bad enough to die he thinks,
but these shoes smell horrible.
Clean up crews later agreed
about the smell, but they claimed
that it wasn’t the shoes.
