A-Wondering Why

I've sat up nights
    a-wondering why
  I no longer hear the expression
    'Here's mud in your eye'

  It's not racist, sexist, or homophobic
    not anti-semitic or islamophobic 
  Perhaps this is it: It's just so awfully deplorable
    It makes Hillary Clinton seem sweet and adorable

If slinging mud could have made Hillary sweet and adorable then Bill could have given up cigars
