Robert Pettit Poet Rhyme

Obscene Mascot

A team mascot should not do things that are obscene.
When they do, it creates an ugly scene.
A mascot's primary job to the crowd is to entertain.
They should never give gestures that are profane.
Unfavorable thoughts usually tend to linger
whenever someone puts out their middle finger.
This happened recently at a New York Mets game.
The event was a totally unmitigated shame.
This usually leaves the fans rather annoyed.
The costume-wearing individual is now unemployed.
