Red State Reel

"Meet Demented Meat"

My old man’s a racist.
Whatch y'all think about that...?
He dons a dog ear’d collar.
He sports a MAGA hat.
Obese in biker’s leathers,
he walks in no man’s shoes.
And every day of every year
he retweets racist views.*
And someday, in the Klan,
I’m gonna be a racist, 
the same as my old man.

     * Some mss replace this line with
"And, come what may, you can't but
hear him sing a racist's blues," but
all are early drafts.
