                                                                                         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…;
