Washington Redskins Poem by Bryan Corbett

Washington Redskins



so, let's say we start
calling the Washington Redskins
the Washington Eagles, instead

how long before the eagles
start getting offended?
and then we have to start calling them
the Washington Ducks, instead

how long before the ducks
start getting offended?
and then we have to start calling them
the Washington Hamsters, instead

how long before the hamsters
start getting offended?
and then we have to start calling them
the Washington Cucumbers, instead

how long before the cucumbers
start getting offended?
and then we have to start calling them
the Washington Number 1's, instead

how long before the number 1's
start getting offended?
and then we have to start calling them
the Washington No Names, instead

how long before the No Names
start getting offended?
and then we have to start calling them
just the Washingtons, instead

how long before the Washingtons
start getting offended?
and then we have to start calling them
just the Nixons, instead

and while I'm at it
maybe I should change
the name of this poem
I mean, the title is clearly offensive.
Should I just call it Washington?
Or maybe: red?
Or maybe: skin?
Or maybe: "Hey! Politically correct, moron! "?
Or maybe just: poem?
Yeah, I'll just call it: Poem.
