A Football Fans’ Lord’s Prayer
(forgiving electoral tomfoolery)
Dear Lord, please forgive his
monkeyshine for he has CTE—
From decades of crashing into
men weighing in at over three! ;
Dear Lord, please forgive his
monkeyshine, he’s being misused—
He’s a broken man and his body
and mind are surgically fused…;
Dear Lord, please forgive his
monkeyshine betraying the ‘race—’
Then send Negroz like him and
Judge Thomas into outer space…;
Dear Lord, please forgive his
monkeyshine, his lying like Boss Tweet—
He’s another Jell-low Puddin Man: At our
Throats—An’ at de Massas’ feet…;
