You love basketball.
Your friend gets you Kings tickets.
It's for ice hockey.
You sit in the stands, happy.
You now know---your friend gets you.

Who is…

You're on Jeopardy!
Great---you forget "who" and "what".
You're in jeopardy.

You're British, Irish,
Native American, Black...
Cops pull you over---
For driving the speed limit.
Congrats, you're blacker than night.

Moving

Moving is the move.
Couches, TVs, pianos---
Your back will thank you.
Your friends will thank you also.
Are you free for free labor?

We interview blacks.
But bet we won't call you back.
We're diverse like that.
Apply; don't apply yourself.
We're fair---so don't even try.

Thanks, Taking

Thanksgiving Dinner:
Time to take family's food
And act thankful too.
As they close their eyes for grace,
Sneak some more food on your plate.

Kneel to Massa Jones.
America's team is black.
But he'll keep them blue.
By George, Jerry loves to hate
How Colin ain't kneel for him.

The right loves Jesus.
Right. That's why you vote for Trump---
Christ. He's quite the saint.
Camel passed through needle's eye.
Please. Pray to the predator.
