Texas Sharpshooter Fallacy
It may be fallacious to make a poem about a fallacy
But I wish to talk about a problem in reality
Once upon a Texas morning, a man held in low respects took a gun from his home
He moved quietly in the afternoon shooting all 6 rounds
He took red paint and drew a target that astounds
He claimed I himself a sharpshooter greater than ol’ holm
He held himself a genius in nirvana’s dome
Not knowing of that I would use it on these battlegrounds
It is Arguable
But scientists always do this
Shooting gene differences
Making excuses
Saying you are DNA
Check your fallacious privilege

Recently, I was doing some fallacy research for improving myself with making arguments, after reading this Wikipedia article I realized a large amount of genetic research didn’t seem to match up and decided that I should share my realization about this. Anyway whether this is useful or useless, thanks for reading.
