A lot of monkey business going on in this country.
The new york post
should be renamed
the new york ghost
with count Dracula
as its host
Every person of sense
should give it a
flame throwers toast
Hit it right where it
hurts the most
Comparing black folks
to monkeys isn't new
Its been around for
quite a few
Even the monkeys
know better than to do
Racist see
Racist do
not much different than
monkey see
monkey do
The new york post
is full of primates too
it's a banana zoo

Great poem with a lot of editorial bite and strong social consciousness.
