Sandra, not only is this amusing in the way that you have written it, but the idea of tossing a smelly old shoe a gormless Politician really appears to my sense of fun. I think I would find a person with a bad case of smelly feet first and use his. Loved this my friend. You get top marks plus from me. Hugs David

A trend of time very well depicted Very action has equal and opposite reaction. May be that's right from the perspective of one who threw Whether you call it instant or well planned. A culture, a trend gets set with just a emotional call The reasons no one cares but issue is the headlight Whatever may be the reason, a healthy trend Is all everyone is expected to practice. At times things to be forgiven Better say how to ignore. Thank you for this write.

The presentation, reference to the history of shoe -points by the Russians and the humour generated make it a lovely reading even at this odd hours.Thanks for sharing. You deserve A10 from me.I feel T.O.I.Mumbai will be happy to publish it as a sequence to the said article. why not try? --Rajkumar

Great, Sandra, great, both usage of language and style, special thanks for the part about a Russian president making a shoe point, that was sort of unexpected and made me laugh :) Thanks for sharing! Best wishes. Amary.

George Bush managed to escape as he knew beforehand that the pieces of papers he used everytime to address his own presidentship as a global leader is not written in his own verses.May be some intelligent Jew has written all his scripts, those luckily missed out of Adolf Hitler's target in Germany and now they insure everything..they insure Rahul Dravid in India, tie up with TATA, add money to all those hackneyed Khan's accounts in the name of aerated Colas and for women they come up with lipliners to become trainee whores of Babylon. For India, at least people from cabinet and state has a minimum qualification which is going to be how many people you have killed or how many cases are there above your head- a statistics for judging one's suitability.The shoe of grievance therefore targeted and achieved the head or face of vexation and no- confidence.Hats off to him who fulfilled an unfilled Iraqi dream.I think the minister forgave coz' he feels himself forsaken and reeling under circumstances.So if the smelly shoe smells a cow dung or any other animal left overs it is just worshipping religion and humanity in india in its true colour. I fancy many my own shoe or two after long daysing and now the final judgement or decision from my to be in-laws, the woman i love who is also a ph member.Here i will celebrate love with the shoes containing the may-be blessings of sands not targeted perhaps for me.Sometimes a shoe or two are eye-openers.Or it is just what i would like it to be love containers. The title of the poem is hereby unique representation of whole as an individual.
