Sense Sonnet - Tickler

Insult, then Sigh

Of Islamic faith, I do know
That shoes are considered unclean;
And the sole of my shoe to show
To another is to demean.
Cameras were on evil Bush.
I threw my shoe for all to see.
It missed, but there's a worldwide push
To give hero status to me.
10 million dollars is the bid
From some rich Saudi prince to buy
That shoe. For all the good it did,
I'm just a shoeless, cashless guy.

I did not know the fates that flew,
When I took off and threw my shoe.
