Dodging the Shoe

Dodging the Shoe

By Elton Camp

The flying shoe, Hillary didn’t faze
Nor did justifiable indignation blaze

Calmly and quickly she did duck
The attacker was then out of luck

Her comeback was right on line
Handling the situation just fine

To a public figure, gross disrespect
From some there’s none else to expect

Her accomplishment unable to minimize
So resorting to violence is no surprise

May the attacker spend time in the clink
To make those similarly disposed think

To oppose her philosophy is okay
Shoe throwing isn’t the right way
