Little Black Sambo
I never understood just why
they banned this charming book.
Black Sambo showed his wits and guile,
but that’s just my outlook.
I never sensed a race bias
or that he was not fit
to be the hero of this book;
it only shows his grit.
I am so glad the book is back,
available once more,
so all can read of his courage
there on the jungle floor.
