Bravo For Diversity

The show's leading lady sports a goatee 
  Braided armpits bear her understudy
Times have changed at the university
  The cast now picked for its diversity

Two Hispanics, two Poles, and two Russkis
  Five from the country and five from cities
Cuban nationals who know how to ski 
  African-Americans named Trotsky... 

Don't know their lines, but the show must go on
  They speak utter nonsense, babbling on
Down comes the curtain, the audience stunned
  Angrily demanding a full refund

Yet one audience member shouts 'Bravo'
  ~ An albino Sudanese Eskimo

So glad you enjoyed this romp. Thought it might get more play than it did, but I guess everyone is in a severe mood now. :) gw
