Only in America

  Kissing babies and shaking hands
  A candidate’s boon and bane in most lands

    In the USA, though, it’s hair-kissing and the shaky hand
    of an octogenarian on whom one party is taking its stand

Maybe he had to kiss her hair because he can't bend over any further.

Interesting thought. Things seem to be changing. I don't care for change.
