Pulpit Fever or Washtub Pneumonia

"too many
1895 churches
spread hatred against
the picaninny, why those
infant children colored mulatto
god's juvanescent free!"

"preacher don't
know interlard from
hog's lard, mixed up
in bible scripture suet,
the cocksucker dies with
an infected conscience,"

"heresiarchs
pitch their revival
tents on the same
ground longhorns feed
those picaninnies proper,
beef grows 'em wise to prejudice,"

"man at the
pulpit with fever
spreads the disease
with no remorse, but the
coal miner's wife who gets
washtub pnemonia from washin'
his clothes, well that's a damn different
story - J.D. Comstock is over there right
now shoin' those sick horses."
