You Won'T Believe Who I Saw At Target
You Won’t Believe Who I Saw at Target
By Elton Camp
I was surprised at who I thought that I did spy
But caught her only out of the corner of my eye
Even with a baseball cap and such dark glasses
I thought, “For the First Lady that easily passes.”
But of interest and surprise I didn’t show a trace
After all, she is entitled to her own private space
Nevertheless, a round-about shopping route I took
So perhaps I could inconspicuously get a better look
That time there wasn’t even the slightest doubt
From the White House, Mrs. Obama had slipped out
Standing around were several men in casual clothes
They were Secret Service. Anybody can spot those
That she’d shop in a discount store I had to admire
She could’ve bought anywhere her heart did desire
But if Wal Mart ever should happen to find it out
They will wish they had gained her favor, no doubt
