The great American bigot
Says, “If I was a Jew
I’d make sure my bills were paid.
Wouldn’t you?
Otherwise people are likely to say –
‘As a Jew, you must be tight with money.’”
His great American gut
Is filled with fancy food,
He is open to foreign flavors -
Wide open, expanded.
His great American mind,
Appreciates that in some parts of the world
Folks live in caves, work for pennies
An hour, and eat mad cow and like it.
The great American bigot
Can shit for 45 minutes at a time.
“One day, the Indians from India
Will ruin our economy,” he thinks.
He reads the daily paper – some authors
Write so well you don’t know
They’re Mexican by birth.
American schools are really something.
The great American bigot
Sees things no one else sees.
In his greatness he is humble,
As an American he is proud.
