Shepherds Flock Around Reality Poem by Joe Rosochacki

Sherri Shepherd is on The View,
Sherri is a stand-up comic that should stick to what she knows best.
Sherri doesn’t know if the world is a globe,
Sherri wasn’t born yesterday,
-wasn’t related to Lauren Caitlin Upton,
(She 'blonde' somewhere)
Sherri wouldn’t be able to find globe let alone a map,
Sherri would recognize a compass heading,
North from South, East from West.
I pity her child for her mom is thinking with a 15th century mind.
Sherri has a similar aspect to life to Alice Tait, PhD. who teaches and gives lectures at Central Michigan University,
Alice has her mind on racial thoughts that obscure her mind toward reality,
When I brought out a dollar bill, not for donation,
And asked what does mean to her the year 1776,
On the back in Roman Numerals at the bottom of the pyramid,
Her answer was “Emancipation Proclamation, ”
My goodness she didn’t realize that year of Independence.
Alice lived through the bi-centennial celebration back 1976,
But she had only memorized the racial power points in history.
Both Sherri and Alice ideally have similar taste,
Not speaking from the point of truth, having their facts wrong,
UNCF keeps stating, “A mind is terrible thing to waste.”
