A Poorly Written Verse:

As we had a short week (and most of mine truly sucked)
I sit at my typing machine a lame duck.

I don't know what to write about-
I don't know what to say-
Perhaps I would if I'd been in class on Wednesday.


I don't get the paper unless at U.V.U,
hence missing class equals missing the news.

My life is so hectic! It's go-go-go!
I rarely make time to watch T.V. shows!


If I'm lucky my ear will catch blips here and there-
But they're usually 'bout how so n' so did their hair.

And so here I sit, a failure you see,
As I've not much to type about class this week.

HOWEVER. . .
I did catch a story about a Chimpanzee-

It went berserk on his owner and is now buried, 6Ft. deep.
The news broke fast and is apparently so big that a political cartoonist got in on the jig.

His artwork depicts the chimp lying dead,
and two police officers with this o'er their heads:

"They'll have to find someone else to write the next stimulus bill."

Of course the toon was not received well-
But I find it a clever commentary, on a badly written bill.


I've attached the picture for you to see,
and then perhaps decide- is it racist, could it be?


This story has been touched on by almost everyone who's known-
and now I invite you to bring it in your home.

On Tuesday I was listening to Opie & Anthony which brodcasts out of NYC...When the news broke about the chimp mauling I had to record what they were saying...If you want I could bring in my XM player and you can hear it...

On top of that, the boneheads at the NY Post that actually printed this cartoon are retarded & in my belief should be canned...

It's been long understood that african americans/blacks are stereotype as chimps/monkeys

It goes back to a Howard Cossell saying on Monday Night Football, when talking about O.J. Simpson running 30 yards...Howard says, "Look at that Monkey Go!"
