Dean

There once was an old man named Dean.
At his college, he worked as the Dean.
The students did hate him.
Low scores did they rate him.
And he made the tuition obscene.

Sooner

Am I really a head coach?
My players trip me, accidentally, into the dirt—
As my head is shoveled further in shame,
I feel more like a roach.
My face is covered with mud and hurt.
When the smoke clears, I hear my name.
I never cheat, I never poach.
Yet here I’m eating just dessert…
At least we won the game!
And victory couldn’t come sooner.

House of Liars

They needed your vote.
And now they’ve voted you out.
Liars are loyal.

You’ve got honesty,
And Donald Trump’s a genius.
Congress gets shit done.

Your room is vacant,
And now it’s much like your head.
And that’s not a lie.

Black Face

“Oh no, Netflix! Not again!
Disney follows latest trend.
My favorite character was white,
Now they look just like the night.

I’ll boycott you, just you wait!
Internet just needs more HATE!
I just love how you all pander.
Ignorance is the right answer.”

Thinly veiled racism rules.
You couldn’t see a black face long ago,
But still saw blackface in your show.
You’re tired of these newfound rules.

You say they’re just an empty gesture
To get blacks—cause you know better.
To get women, minorities too—
Detective, get a fuckin’ clue.

In Wanted, when they flipped Fox—
You ain’t say shit on that.
Just keep watching that crap from FOX.
For you, I’m sure they’ll go to bat.

The Lone Ranger stole from Bass.
Indians, Egyptians—played by whites.
All that time, where was your sass?
If it were up to you—we’d have no rights.

Drivers

Stop—pedestrians!
As you let them cross, cars honk.
Drivers hit the wheel.

Stop—it’s a stop sign!
You come to a halt; cars pass.
Drivers flip you off.

Stop—it’s some bullshit.
You come to understand this.
Drivers made you walk.
