Amazon haiku to Sen. Wendy Davis’s pink Mizuno shoes

June 27, 2013 10:16 pm

(Yes, you’re right — the shoes are red, not pink.)

Texas State Sen. Wendy Davis‘s filibuster so insinuated itself into our culture already that it is now a part of shoe reviews at Amazon.com:

Mizuno running shoes for sale at Amazon.com — the same shoes Sen. Wendy Davis wore during her filibuster on June 25, 2012.

SHOES HAIKUS, June 27, 2013

This review is from: Mizuno Women’s Wave Rider 16 Running Shoe (Apparel)

Wendy wore these, and
she wasn’t even running.
Here’s hopes she soon will!

Standing and talking,
one needs a lot of support.
You have all of ours.

2. The 1 star reviews are pretty funny; as are many of the others. I like this quote: “Why move forward when you can revel in the late 19th century?”
