Discrimination- Kenneth Rexroth

I don’t mind the human race.   
I’ve got pretty used to them   
In these past twenty-five years.   
I don’t mind if they sit next   
To me on streetcars, or eat   
In the same restaurants, if   
It’s not at the same table.   
However, I don’t approve   
Of a woman I respect
Dancing with one of them. I’ve   
Tried asking them to my home   
Without success. I shouldn’t   
Care to see my own sister   
Marry one. Even if she
Loved him, think of the children.   
Their art is interesting,   
But certainly barbarous.   
I’m sure, if given a chance,   
They’d kill us all in our beds.   
And you must admit, they smell.

Remember

For my remembrance article, I chose to use the book "Green Eggs and Ham" by the master himself, Dr. Suess. Now you might be wondering, Green Eggs and Ham, why would you do such a thing. Well when i was a youngin' back in the day, I'd have to say that was my favorite book, ever. It got to a point where  memorized the whole thing and could recite it on spot, anywhere, anytime. So when i think of i think of Green Eggs and Ham, I remember being a wee-young chap in school. Here are some lines from Green Eggs and Ham.

"I could not, would not, on a boat.
I will not, will not, with a goat.
I will not eat them in the rain.I will not eat them on a train.
Not in the dark! Not in a tree!
Not in a car! You let me be!
I do not like them in a box.
I do not like them with a fox.
I will not eat them in a house.
I do not like them with a mouse.
I do not like them here or there.
I do not like them ANYWHERE!
I do not like green eggs
and ham!
I do not like them,
Sam-I-am."
