Governor Woke Smoke’s $campaign
I. Apologize, rationalize ‘bout Injun

Apologize, rationalize ‘bout Injun removal/slavery?
You’re mad as a monkey on the Mason-Dixon Line!
Nuttier than a squirrel turd!

You’re proof you don’t have to hang from a tree to be a nut!
And you’re loopy as a crosseyed cowboy thinkin’
we’ll allow you to vote in this negro-rigged, neo-
Bolshevik system without at least posin’ the eligibility
questions: How many jelly beans in this jar?
How many bubbles in this bar of soap?
How much buckshot’s in my shotgun?
