The Token Hunch-Back

The Token Hunch-Back By Elton Camp Most businesses feel they must have a few token blacks So it’s reasonable to have equity for all the hunch-backs Mad scientists require a slavish assistant to do their will Only one dressed in black and called Igor can fill the bill And to fully please his master, Igor always does so fine It can be Count Dracula or maybe Professor Frankenstein The castle where the duo do their dirty work’s on a hill Whenever the villagers living below see it, it gives a chill When enough of the evil master the townfolks finally get, They never invade the castle until the sun has nearly set Igor will then always do all he can his master to defend But the outraged villagers will always triumph in the end I know, politically correct a poem like this certainly is not Since it make hunch-backs feel reviled and put on the spot The Americans With Disabilities Act applies in the USA However, pictures like these are all set a half a world away
