Once upon a time in a town called Life
There was an extreme gentleman who loved to write
No picture, just the words brought stereotypes
And everyone who read his work assumed that he was white
Then one day he decided that he should show his face
After that much of his fans slowly drifted away
Never thought that his career would be affected by race
But it was so he quickly sought a new fan base
He found a family instead. He was happy again
The handsome fellow even found himself a couple of friends
So he wrote for his company, the people he loved
And it seemed that Life's people just couldn't get enough
But some of them started criticizing the words that he worte
Observed his literature and laughed as if he were a joke
And he went home each night with his pen in his hand
Wondering why the people just did not understand
So the gentleman was angry! He wrote and he cursed
Started writing, didn't think, poetry unrehearsed
But the end result was sick! His pen needed no nurse
And once again everyone started loving his work
And this extreme gentleman went on to write many books
He prepared readers their meals but he never did cook
And he was known throughtout Life as one that amazed
And when he died "How Can You Hate Me" was etched in his grave |
