How To Snag a Racist

If these racists be so plentiful As them in power would believe. There should be at least one found Lurking... about my property. How to catch this dreaded beastie Was overarching on my mind? So I laid waste my poor computer To just see what I might find. They are devoid of any substance With a certain weakness 'bout the chin. But the optimal way to spot a racist... Is the color of its skin. They are privy to beer and peanuts With America's flag a source of pride. But before they'd drive a Prius... There's no law they wouldn't defy. I take not a racist's capture lightly Should one I chance to meet. They are easily lured with a few simple words And a flaming cut of beef. With a healthy dose of patriotic fever... I set out to numb this vile threat. I grab my Mickey Mantle baseball bat And my favorite fishing net. I hide behind a Mulberry bush To circumscribe this would-be menace. Then give a loud shout... to them here about "Three cheers for white supremacists!" To my chagrin and stunned bewilderment... There was no racist to be caught. But a hundred media reporters Suddenly swarmed my hiding spot. They had no interest in abject poverty Or an educational system past review. But the chance to photograph a racist... Well... that would front the evening news. They waited through the morning To appease their 'youtube' fans. But with no racist's skin to log and capture... They left to twist another plan. I wandered home empty-handed Stopping at a mirror aside the stairs. With my apologies to them in power... I still saw no racist there. The End *Fow my cartoon at Webtoon Bob's Your Uncle.
