In Your Shoes Inspired By Contest With Broken Rules

I often forgot to walk in your shoes I’d print my conclusion of your outstanding dues It was in your best interest, that you not look confused But I pride myself on my ability to ration Henceforth, this walk, shall be my first action All laced up, I will test out their traction Taking note of all things, such as comfort and fashion Only then, will I form my personal verdict I will state it as fact and expect, it shall stick No more, maybe or perhaps, the answer is fixed No assumptions or prejudice in the theory, I pitch But I vow to understand if you disagree I will give my opinion, respectfully Remembering, others won’t think just like me Although it seems clear, they may not see I always strive to give good advice Sometimes, I’m sure, it isn’t nice And I suppose there’s chance, it isn’t right Though in the past, it was forced to suffice I often forgot to walk in your shoes

What he was called is a shoe in; A sure fire winner he had been, Who they did adore, Named Roy Moore, And he lived a terrible life of sin.
