Exclusive not Inclusive
I started to say something
There were gasps
I forgot we are not supposed to use the word masks or Covid-19
Did I apologize? No.
the name Hitler slipped out a couple of times
Luckily, no one remembered who that was.
They loved it that our new leader reads Mein Kampf
Not knowing what this playbook means.
I said the word “exclusive” and they began getting a rope ready
They were going to hang me.
They chased me around the courtroom.
“Exclusive!” I yelled. “Not inclusive!”
That was the last time I was ever seen or heard from again.
