The Shallow End of the Pool

The faggots all are prancy.
All dykes,
just big and mean.
A country boy is dumb as dirt
and Kykes just want your green.

Huskies, Limeys,
Wiggers, Twobs,
I’ve no time for Pinks or Fobs.
Nachos, Paddys,
Dagos, Spics –
Just a few who make me sick.
The Right is wrong;
What’s Left can’t be.
I know it all -
So just ask me.

Teabags, Crackers,
Pancakes, Spoons,
Ragheads, Twinkies,
Winks and Goons.
Jackamammies,
Gwats, Ofays
Pintos, Pinkos,
Reds and Grays.

Wics, Wasps,  
Bogans, Dunes
Snics, Spics,
Chiggers, Coons.
They all should go
from whence they came.
It's obvious that
they’re to blame
for all the woes
of our great land.
It’s time for US
to take a stand
against the Commies
and the Chinks.
Latrinos, too -
and Frogs -
and Dinks.

I know I’m right. I always am.
I leave no room for doubt.
My opinions set in concrete,
though perhaps -
not well thought out.

Wexicans, and Wooleyheads,
Coolies, Cookies, Mutts
I’ll kick ‘em out
And take mine back.
I know I have the guts
to do the thorough cleansing of
my world’s genetic pool
and there I’ll swim contented -
one narrow minded fool.
But when I float alone there,
with none to disagree,
I'll need a whole new hatred - 
so then I'll just hate ... me.

Author notes

Judge not, lest ye be .... the little fish in a very big pond, left to face the music that the fat lady sings.

Okay, I got confuzzled here, but I know it's in there somewhere.

    Great

    This is so powerful, and funny! Just love it, and think this should be in The New Yorker, and any other magazine that prints the so-called best! Keep writing like this and you will have the best audience, ever!!! Regards, always!

    This is awesome... I love it! Definitely a great spin on stereotypes. I like the message at the end. The last two lines are definitely my favorite. Awesome job.

    shadowofasoul,

    Dang, I'm jealous, for my slurs are nowhere near as poetic as your kyke dyke. I wonder if I can now consider myself triple disenfranchised???


    Thank you for your kind words and the sharing of your laughs. I figured I might find a few who could relate to this among our merry band.

    very very funny and clever. i loved your overuse of racial slurs it actually enforced your point deeply. in fact after a stanza or so you begin to see that they are indeed, just words. and silly ones at that. i personally am a kyke dyke. isn't fortunate how that rhymes so nicely

    haha great work

    Wow you're gonna be one lonely SOB!

    That is the absolute essence of this and the tone of your comment had me laughing right along with you.

    We can only hope this poor SOB eventually floats into his own stagnant waste.

    lol Thanks for catching the spirit in which this was written.

    I really liked this. An almost Dr. Suessian effect. I've heard a lot of names for a lot of things but there are some here that I can't say that I've heard. I love the teetering on the edge feel to this. It's ballsy. I like ballsy.

    I've been challenged to include a slur against the Welsh, but as of yet have not found one. Perhaps, you are just the resource I am seeking. Any suggestions?

    And you have intriqued me with your author page's reference to controversial topics. (as well as touching me with the story your page reveals) Would love to read some of those.

    Wicked twists indeed

    Now this one is truly incredible when said aloud, real fast, with hardly a pause for breath.

    Being over the great pond, I had to work out some of the words, but I think I managed well with that.

    If not some one may misunderstand and I'll end up dead for insulting some one (probably so knowing my luck).

    Great write.

    Dear Jane,
    Thanks for commenting on one of my poems, especially because I immediately look up the home page of any cammentator on my efforts.
    This led me straight to this poem which I think is absolutely BRILLIANT notwithstanding the horrors it will cause to the 'politically correct' namby-pambies. I just love it and especially the comclusion which is sooo indicative of your good sense of humour. Technically fine and I will read a lot more of yours. Hope you enjoy some more of mine too. Thanks for commenting and for bringing me to yourself. Love XXX Hugh.

    I could have sworn I commented on this cute write before. I left with a smile on my face. Gotta agree with Renee on this one. It could be Archie Bunker at his best. Come to think of it, I always loved Archie, Edith, Meathead and even, little girl as Archie called his daughter. Excellent job. Irene

    Yeah, but could ya' dance to it? Thanks mc. I never thought much about racial and ethnic slams until I started writing this and then had to get a whole new education in ways our words are used to hurt. It was fun to write in a sick twisted way though.... but, then again, that's the just me

    My dear, Renee, how am to offend all the gracious, talented, altruistic poets of the world in just one poem? But, if instead, you are talking ethnicity, you are in there in all your glorious finery. (right after those adorable chiggers) Never let it be said we aren't an equal opportunity offender!

    I kind of look forward to seeing what you can dig up on the Welsh. Not much, I am sure. Don't worry, I show no favoritism.

    Hahahahaha! I think this may have been Archie Bunker at his best. I love the way you mentioned as many ethnic groups as possible but what happened to "spades", "coons", and "darkies"?
    You have got to offend or is it defend... me with everyone else. Well, anyway I feel left out! Excellent poem that shows the mindset of most people who are not even willing to admit it. We know how to make the world better, no diversity, no confusion, no illusion, just plain old no color or continuity. Great! I cracked up from the onset! I love all people but it sure is fun for us to make fun of ourselves, now go edit this poem and include people that look like me. We are already left out of enough!!!

    Much Love,
    Renee

    Jane, I gotta admit girl! No one can write like you! This was humorous but you hit the nail on the head and made the lesson clear. Prejudice is wrong in any language or color. You certainly did yhour homework to write this EXCELLENT WRITE. Give the girl the gold! Irene
